All winners will be announced on Sunday. So, be sure to cast your vote today, then post a comment so I know who voted!
Let’s recap what you’ve chosen so far:
Setting: Louisiana Bayou
Scenario: Innocent stranger enters a small, secretive town where shifters rule
From my research, the only large cats that were ever indigenous (in recent history) to southern Louisiana were Florida Panthers, a subspecies of North American cougar. So, the majority of the shifters in my stories will be Florida Panthers. These cats used to range from Louisiana all across the coastal south to Florida, but have been hunted close to extinction. Now there are only about 50-75 cats remaining in the wild in Florida. There isn’t any evidence, other than folktales, that “black panthers” ever existed in North America. But I’m thinking some of my shifters can be the source of those folk tales, possessing excessive melanin like some jaguars in South America do. To the left is a picture of one of those melanistic jaguars.
The story is shaping up a bit now in my mind, but I want you to help me nail the hero of the first story.
Vote for your favorite type of hero then post a comment so I know who voted! You’ll be entered to win a $10 gift certificate from Amazon.com! Remember, all poll winners will be announced on Sunday!

Hi! I’m all for the bad boy 🙂

Yay! I’m so glad you’re doing this…asking what readers want and giving it to them. I’ve often wondered if that was possible. I tried it once, but didn’t succeed. Fortunately the woman who asked understood and forgave me. It was a neat idea, but it just didn’t lend itself to my “brand” i.e. erotic comedy.
You can probably write anything though. Even time travel back to the Apache wars. I’m afraid I couldn’t find a funny angle there.

I vote for the bad boy! lol
Comment
I went with the local sheriff, I had to choose the underdog. lol
Comment
Looks like I am not alone in liking the idea of the bad boy shifter 🙂
Comment
Are you going to watch a movie tonight for halloween?
Also, how are your other writing projects going?
Comment
Always the bad boy. I’m a sucker for a bad boy!
Comment
I’m all about the hero protecting the pride. He’d have to be smart and strong to outsmart anyone trying to hurt the pride.
Comment
I voted to have the sheriff protect his pride
Comment
Fran! The bad boy got my vote too! Although I could write any one of them and enjoy it!
Ash! 😆 I bet you could too make it funny! I like the idea of letting the readers choose for the short fiction. And yeah, I can write anything—except inspirational!
Amy! Guess I weighted that question when I said “bad boy”—who can resist?
Sara! It’s still early. Your choice could win!
Comment
Booklover! No, you’ve got lots of company!
Wesley! Nice to see you here! I watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show every year for Halloween. It’s a tradition! And I haven’t written a word since I got back home. Trying to catch up and get ready for NaNo month.
Lisa! The bad boy would be the easiest for me to write!
Comment
Tammy and Carolyn! The protective guy would be fun to write. I can imagine him being surly and quiet and determined. And when he can’t steer the woman away from the questions, he’d have to take action!
Comment
I voted for local sheriff who protects his pride’s secrets.
Comment
Just Love the bad Boys 😉
Comment
I went for the plantation owner with the bad boy a close second in my choices. Plantation owner just seemed to have a lot of interesting possibilities.

Comment
Love the badboy, make for some hot and steamy scenes 😉
Comment
I voted for Bad boy shifter whose job it is to “distract” the human who entered their midst. Gotta love the “Bad Boy”.
Comment
I think a bad boy alpha sheriff would protect his pride at all costs. And he shifts into such a gorgeous black-as-midnight panther. His shifter father mated with a panther shifter from the Everglades.
Comment
I voted for badboy shifter you can too.
Comment
Nothing beats a bad boy……….
Comment
I picked the plantation owner, but it looks like the poor man isn’t doing too well in this poll. lol
Comment
I voted for the Bad Boy but how about making him the deputy of a strict Sheriff who isn’t a fan of how the deputy goes about distracting the nosey human to protect the pack?
Comment
Wow – I was leaning towards “Bad Boy” too – but the idea of the protector Sheriff hero conflicted with a sense of responsibility vs. interest in a stranger was too much and won out for me. Either way, seems like a fun romp in reading material. Can’t wait to “see” it come to life.
Comment
They all sound sexy, but I love a bad boy storyline.
Comment
Bad Boy for me too :blush:
Comment
All for the protection of the pride! The local sheriff is “to die for” right?
Comment
I went for the bad boy.
Comment
I voted bad boy but can he still be the sheriff?
Okay I just had to pop on real quick before working again. My company comes tonight instead of a few days from now.
Comment
I voted for the bad boy!
Comment
This is so totally cool!! I voted for: “Bad boy shifter whose job it is to “distract” the human who entered their midst”…Gotta love that bad boy!!
Comment
I vorted, Delilah. And I see I’m not the onluy one who loves bad boys and shifters. With him having an assignment to distract the humanin their mist, I’m sold.

Comment
Bad boy, definitely, can’t wait to read that book.
Comment
I love the inherent drama that always insues when you contrast the rule of law with the rule of the heart..how to satisfy both in order to live with yourself and get a happy and satisfying ending.
Comment
I finally voted with the majority lol.
Comment
