Midnight's Door by Jane Toombs
This short is part of the "Moonrunners" series of books, about a family of werewolf shapeshifters named the Voleks who immigrate to California in the mid-1800's. Here, a modern day Stalker named Nick encounters the recessive-trait twin Dara, who's a carrier to the Shifter gene, during a
spooky night on the old grounds of the Volek compound, Wolf House. Dara's Shifter twin has been long dead, but she's still powerful. And, apparently, there are other things in the woods....
Demon Killer by Myra Nour
A pure fantasy story with no romantic elements, Nour's story tells the tale of a fairy mother and her Demon-born son, a child of rape but born of healing, as they travel to find acceptance in a human world full of prejudice. It's nicely done, and unexpected. The shifter element plays out in the son's accelerated growth rate - every couple of years, he enters a cocoon-state and emerges many years older.
The Tower by Jennifer Dunne
A fantasy romance with elements of the fairy tale "Rapunzel" and the awesome 80's flick, Ladyhawke, this short by author Dunne delivers adequately. As reward for his loyalty, General Bayard is given a keep and land in conquest from the King. However, he soon discovers that the land already has a guardian, a mysterious woman who commands both animals and plants within its magical boundaries.
Honor Bound by Robin Bayne
This one's a sci-fi romance about a timetraveling alien who visits different timeperiods on Earth and studies them almost as an anthropologist would do. While observing the American Civil War and studying the concept of honor, our alien's tech device malfunctions and he gets stuck in modern-day Virginia, at the old colonial house of a young widow. The shifter element appears in the alien's need to morph back into his native form once a day, or risk remaining in human form forever. This one was steady but good, like a slow burn.
