Werewolves discussion

Hi Iain,

Your series looks interesting from what little I can tell about it based on the blurbs I could find. Is the first volume seriously 1,206 pages long? I read a little from the beginning section in the Look Inside feature found on Amazon and was impressed regarding its readability. Maybe someone (including you) can nominate it for our summer read (in this topic: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) which will begin around June 21 since our Spring read is already set. If it wins the poll, some members of the group (including me) will read and review it. Some of us might even consider getting to it earlier though I myself am rather committed on other reads this month. It's not got a lot of romance, right? (Most of us consider romance a disturbing trend in modern werewolf literature.)

Hey, Dan! Has the spring selection been picked, yet?

I have purchased Moon Dancing, and I believe it has exactly 1,206 pages. A lot of pages, but I’m reading a book now with a little over 6,000 pages. And I’ve just finished a book with 3,300 pages.

And these books aren’t about werewolves. They’re about 19th century mysteries. So, I could read a werewolf book with 1,200 pages.

Hi, the page count (only in the kindle version ) is that long, the paperback is just under 500 pages.

No, there is 'SOME' romance, but that is not the main theme, it is set in 2008 in my home of Northern Ireland, a small group of werewolves from Latvia arrive in Belfast, but there is already a clan of wolves that have been here for centuries.

I have gone away from the myth and fantasy of wolves, before I started writing I did 18 months research and found that from a biological point of view (theoretically ...) it is possible, but (and those that helped with y research stressed the BUT) a change would take 8 - 10 months, not a couple of minutes, I have used some poetic licence.

I researched how, if this was possible, how would it be possible, and how, then would a normal society react to 'the furry and fang club' being real!!! I look at how the police would investigate them and how would a local journalist report them.

I looked at how wolves in the wild react to another pack coming into their territory and used that as well.

There have not been wolves here in Ireland (both North or south) for centuries, as there has never been rabies here, when I looked at legends of werewolves in central European legend, there was blood shot eyes, foaming mouth, rage ... the signs and symptoms of rabies .. but the legends here in Ireland are totally different, werewolves were seen as protectors and guardians, not rabid animals.

All of this I have used in my story :-)

Thanks for the update Iain.
