The Twilight Thing (or, How I wanted the wolf to win) by Stephanie Tyler

I was at a book club meeting with Book Obsessed Chicks a couple of months back and they asked me what my inspiration was for my new Eternal Wolf Clan series.

One of my inspirations might seem a little odd, but it would make sense once you’ve read the book. So I can’t really give it away but suffice to say, my daughter’s seizures were a partial inspiration for the book. If you’re really interested and you’ve read the book, or you don’t mind spoilers, do the wiki page for seizures and you’ll find it there.

My other big inspiration was the Twilight Books, but especially book 2, New Moon. Because OMG – Jake! First of all, if you know my RS at all, you know I have a special affinity for that name but second, hello wolf! Maybe it’s because I came to the books after the movies – although I read the books first, I couldn’t help but comparing the leads in the trailer – Edward, pale and pasty (I’m sorry – I like vamps but in my mind, vamps don’t look like that) and Jake’s wolf. OMG! Huge. Furry. Big teeth. Protective and growly. ALPHA!

In my mind, there was no competition at all. And after finishing the series, I was really angry Bella chose Edward. I remember someone asking me if I really thought the wolf would win Bella’s heart…and I guess the answer was, well, anything could happen. And the wolf got gypped.


So, what’s your preference, wolves or vamps? Really, I won’t mind if you say vamps…but Rifter, the hero from Dire Needs, that released this past Tuesday, just might.

I have to go with Stephanie on this. Edward may have been hotter in the books, but Jacob stole the show in the movies. After seeing the 2nd movie I thought Edward who?
