Q&A with Stacy Mantle discussion

Whether it’s the Shepherd’s series, the Shifters series or the any other series – let’s talk about our most favorites.

I like the Kay Hooper series about psychic detectives-she's written several trilogies about the FBI profilng and behavorial unit made up of only people who are not only FBI trained-but they all have their special talents--they are really good!~!

Ooohh - that sounds really good! I don't think I've ever heard of that series, but I'm going to find it. I like series that use intellect to cross the boundary from "could happen" to "reality". One of my favorites is the Riley Jensen series from Keri Arthur - it takes place in Australia, but focuses on Riley (half vamp/half were) and her journey on becoming a guardian. Arthur's a brilliant writer and I love her work.

what is this group about. it sounds interesting.

Well, its sort of a conversation about our favorite urban fantasy series - tips on worldbuilding, etc. Its sort of just getting underway! Hope you can join us! Do you have a favorite series?

My favorite series right now is the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning.

I haven't heard of that series - sounds interesting, though! What all is it about?

Another series I've read the 1st 2 of is by Leslie "Cold Sight" and "Cold Touch" about a psychic detective company called x-TREME Invesigations--I don't think the 3rd has come out yet--but I really liked the first 2.

Carole, I'm going to have to check those two series out! They sound awesome. BTW - I'm super excited about this article that just came out on my series! http://www.examiner.com/paranormal-li...

my favorite series is the Monster High.

What's Monster High about?

its about a girl that is a vampire and a girl thats a frankenstien.

Wow - that sounds pretty cool. I love how authors are doing so many eclectic mixes with traditional characters. I'll have to put that on my TBR list as well. :)

That's a great review of your work Stacy--I know that half of the battle of writing (besides the struggle to get published) is the publicity and getting your book out there so people will read it. Still am looking forward to getting a copy of your book--did we talk about you sending me one when you can? Still planning on getting a Kindle--was hoping for my birthday in Feb but that's a maybe at this point!!

Love the concept of a runt! I will definitely be adding to my TBR list (which is growing a lot faster than I keep up with)!

You should give urban fantasy a try! Interestingly enough, I had never r before Twilight because all my life, I had a deathly fear of vampires. So, I always stayed away from the genre. I have Meyer to thank for getting me over my fear with her sparkling, vegetarian vampire concept. That made me branch out into other series and ive been hooked ever since.

And now, here I am, the author of a series on preternatural crestures! Who would've thunk it? Lol!

I am a fan of Buffy and Angel so the Vampire part is not a problem I just did not know the genre exists. Have about 5 Books on the go right now and then will have a look thanks for encouraging me
