As of today, this will be Writer’s Wednesday. If you’re
an author of horror, science fiction, fantasy, nonfiction ghost books, poetry,
thriller and mysteries, you can contact me to do a guest blog about writing on
one of the Wednesdays.
My first urban
fantasy read was Emma Bull's War for the Oaks, back in 1987.
I've read others since then, though they were termed fantasies then. But by the
twenty-first century, the name, urban fantasy, was coined. It's one of my
favorites to read. I have even finished one myself that I am now shopping
around. Under my pseudonym for paranormal romance, Sapphire Phelan, I have
written two books in a series, that first came out as eBooks, Being Familiar With a Witch and A Familiar Tangle With Hell, and now is
out in print together in one book, The Witch And The Familiar. Of course, none these are for anyone under 18,
being erotic. LOL.
One of my favorite
authors who write in this genre is Jim Butcher. Which authors of this genre you
read?

I've read Laurell K. Hamilton's books, though at some point they tipped into being sex with a little bit of urban fantasy thrown in and I stopped reading. I love Jim Butcher's Dresden Files books. I write urban fantasy myself, both for teens and as part of romances; and I have a thing for werewolves since one of my romance series is about a gay vegan werewolf and his mate, the pack Alpha.
I too read Laurell K. Hamilton, but when it became nothing but sex with very little story, I stopped reading. I love Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, and Read the Stooky Stackhouse book before there was True Blood. I also enjoyed Kim Harrison books about a witch, a smart mouth pixy and a vampire that all live together.
