A Hauntingly Good Time Is Near 
by Terry Spear

The wind is howling…or is that wolves? The temperature and humidity have dropped from hot and humid to cold and dry. It’s not even nighttime and things are going bump in the day. The bugs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out if they know what’s good for them.

It’s time for the ghost and goblins and trolls, for werewolves and other shapeshifters, for vampires and zombies and others to visit us mortal creatures at this time of year. So who is scarier? Them? Or us?

Maybe they'll make us into them and then we’ll be much more acceptable to them. And maybe we’ll even like ourselves better!

Just think—you take on the shifting abilities of the wolf and no longer have to worry about your mate straying. And instead of just you having to keep up with your kids, you’ll have a whole pack of aunts and uncles who love them just as much. Babysitters extraordinaire!

You work together, play together, and stay together. Oh, sure, there’s this little problem if you’re newly turned and can’t control the shift into the wolf. Hopefully you’re at home when it happens. Just don’t go out when there’s a full moon. What? There’s a full moon out tonight?

Grab takeout and stay home. Or better yet, let your alpha male cook for you tonight, get the pack members to take the kids off your hands, and throw yourself a lovely little PRIVATE party.

Now, this works for werewolves. But what about jaguar shifters? Well, they’re a little different. Jaguars cat around. So you’ll have to find that special jaguar who will scratch your itch. Clawed, toothy and delicious. Dangerous, too, but that’s for the bad guy to worry about. Your alpha will watch your back and make it worthwhile. He’s just as territorial as the wolves, loves the water, and to hunt, but he also 

climbs trees. This is great if you need to get off the jungle floor in a hurry.

So for Halloween, it’s time for some shifter love.

What about the rest of the ghoulish characters? You’re on your own there. Sure, I know some great vampires, hot, sexy, fun with a bite, but not all of them are safe to be with. Not that all werewolves and jaguar shifters are either. You have to make safe choices.

So now I know you love them all, but you have to make a choice. If you were to win a copy of one of my autographed books, which would you prefer to join? A wolf pack or would you like to get really exotic and mix it up with a jaguar?
