Quick Book Browsing: Shifters and Shifter Romance

Shifters can be found in paranormal romance, science fiction, and fantasy. I enjoy shifters in a variety of genres and thought I’d share some of my own books and several recommended reads by other authors featuring these body-morphing characters.

In my fantasy novel Riding the Storm, Jeorek can shift into an electrically charged birdlike creature and fly across the sky at lightning speed, but only if he can find the right sorcerer as a power source.

In my sci-fi romance Fate’s Mission, the Bowriders are capable of shifting from human form to pure energy so they can fly among the stars.

In my paranormal romance, Wild Side, the heroine joins a pack of werewolves.

My Elementals series features a Water Elemental who can shift into a sea serpent in In Her Element and Passion Fire.

Fire Elementals shift into dragons in Passion Fire.
