But one of the awesome things that came with my getting over that speed bump and hiring different editors for each volume (so far) is that it creates a diversity of theme, mood, style and subject matter that never could have happened if I&#8217;d tried to edit them all.<\/p>\n<p>Laura tackled a tricky subject matter in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/triskaidekaphilia\/legendary\/\"><em>Legendary<\/em><\/a> and found strong stories with a great mix of gay and straight pairings. In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/triskaidekaphilia\/2-ravenous\/\"><em>Ravenous<\/em><\/a>, Ariel brought the heat out hard, but coupled that with stories that explored all sorts of different kinds of vampires, and what it means to be vampiric. Trysh took an angle for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/triskaidekaphilia\/4-haunted-female-ghosts\/\"><em>Haunted<\/em><\/a> that I never would have thought of and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing what she pulls together when submissions open this fall.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, there is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/triskaidekaphilia\/3-transformed-shapeshifters\/\"><em>Transformed<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I first talked to Charlie about the anthology, I&#8217;ll admit I was thinking of the usual kind of mammal shapeshifters &#8212; you know, wolves, big cats, bears, that sort of thing &#8212; but Charlie was thinking way outside of that box. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love that box, but I also love that in <em>Transformed<\/em> Charlie has put together a collection that includes shifters from the mammalian world, but also birds, and reptiles and the fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>And now it has a cover<\/p>\n<p>Designed by Amanda C.
