• 14:05:48: Get in on the act and win cool stuff! #silverkiss
   
• 14:18:21: @AlexDraven Thanks, Alex :) Yep, same world, same characters. I was lucky enough to be asked by Queered Fiction for a novel-length followup
   
• 14:18:59: @leasbreda Hmm, in under 140 characters? A long-time interest in real wolves, combined with a childhood love of Norse mythology
   
• 14:19:13: @hatshepsut0011 Thank you! :)
   
• 14:25:58: Part II of my reading of Wolf Strap is up today too! http://www.queeredfiction.com/naomi_reads.htm #silverkiss It's all go
   
• 14:38:32: Help spread the word or ask me a question about #silverkiss and there's tarot readings, ebooks, and print books up for grabs!
   
• 14:48:22: There are also very limited edition paperback versions of Wolf Strap up for grabs #silverkiss
   
• 14:48:53: Want one of those? Just tell me who your favourite werewolf is (book or film) to be in with a chance #silverkiss
   
• 14:55:38: @leasbreda Thanks! My favourite was always Loki. I know he was bad, but he was just so much fun...
   
• 15:00:53: @brian_ohio Lol, that's one of my favourite films! Love that scene.
   
• 15:32:32: Thanks for the shout-out, Tonya Moore! #silverkiss http://www.tonyamoore.com/blog/2010/03/01/naomi-clarks-silver-kiss-is-here/
   
• 15:33:01: @Scarimonious For me it's a toss-up between him and Ginger and B from the Ginger Snaps films #silverkiss
   
• 16:02:48: RT @mikodragonfly: Naomi Clark’s SILVER KISS is here!:
  
  
  
  
  Nobody writes werewolves like Naomi. Her style and her uni.. htt ...
   
• 16:03:15: Okay, so obviously werewolves are awesome. Anyone got any other were-creatures they'd like to see out there? #silverkiss
   
• 16:07:16: @twiglet50 Presumably along with werevoles and weremice? Some kind of small rodent alliance is clearly in order #silverkiss
   
• 16:19:29: @twiglet50 I think there's got to be room for werebadgers, in that case. #silverkiss
   
• 16:20:19: @etaknosnhoj You don't see many were-herbivores at all, do you? Maybe we need werecows and werechickens too? #silverkiss
   
• 16:21:46: @twiglet50 Are we talking werefoxes or kitsune? Cultural differences abound! #silverkiss
   
• 16:25:08: @hatshepsut0011 I really like Jason from the LKH books - Richard got a bit too angst-ridden for me! #silverkiss
   
• 16:25:42: @hatshepsut0011 Oh, I didn't read that far in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I should check it out. Love the idea of werecats! #silverkiss
   
• 16:31:13: @twiglet50 Please don't give me ideas for any more books that I don't have time to write! *gibbers* #silverkiss
   
• 16:35:41: @Scarimonious I'm trying to figure out a way to get werekrakens into something. I'm sure it can be done! #silverkiss
   
• 16:36:42: @etaknosnhoj That's true! I love the actual rabbits in that film more - like when they wave at each other! Genius!
   
• 16:38:34: @Scarimonious I need this book in my life #silverkiss
   
• 17:07:02: Remember, use the #silverkiss tag when commenting to get yourself in the draw for a fab prize hamper #silverkiss
   
• 17:07:58: The hamper includes an autographed print copy of Silver Kiss, a limited edition paperback copy of Wolf Strap, a tarot reading #silverkiss
   
• 17:11:17: ...and maybe other cool things too? Every time you use the #silverkiss, you're in with a chance of winning. Yay! #silverkiss
   
• 17:21:23: @Scarimonious I need to get hold of all these creature-feature films. I'm sure I can work weresharks into a story somehow #silverkiss
   
• 17:22:46: Just won a copy of Cat Marsters Mad, Bad, and Dangerous because I got locked in a porn theatre once. There is a connection there, I promise
   
• 17:23:13: @QueeredFiction I'd be up for that! :)
   
• 17:26:38: @pentabet Hey, Boo! I'm determined to get were-seacreatures into a story somewhere... like you say, the set up is tricky though!
   
• 17:27:40: @Scarimonious But would they have gills or lungs? Or both? Or some horrible combination of the two? #silverkiss
   
• 17:35:36: @pentabet Sharks get my vote, but squid and octopodes aren't far behind! I know Hawaii has some shark-man legends
   
• 17:35:55: @Scarimonious We're all doomed! #silverkiss
   
• 17:53:01: RT @CoffeeTimeRoman: CoffeeTimeEvent: FORUM Author Naomi Clark holds a Twitter Release Party - Image: http://i433.photobucket.com/albums ...
   
• 18:07:49: @tjordaan Definitely! You don't see a lot of werereptiles, or at least I haven't. I'm sure they must be out there
   
• 18:13:26: @Scarimonious I'm sure I must have that episode somewhere. Does Batman qualify as a type of therianthrope? A psychological one? #silverkiss
   
• 18:24:12: @leatherzebra Awesome! I want to read that.
   
• 18:25:17: I'm off food shopping. Le sigh. But will be back later to keep up the #silverkiss promo, so talk amongst yourselves til then!
   
• 21:16:15: @eldestmuse I'm back! Will be here for a while now - still got a question to ask? :) #silverkiss
   
• 21:19:45: @tjordaan Do you think a weresnake would stay human-sized when it changed? I'm a bit concerned about giant cobras everywhere! #silverkiss
   
• 21:24:58: I'm still here for the SIlver Kiss Twitter party! Want to win some cool prizes? Come and join in! #silverkiss
   
• 21:25:54: There's tarot readings up for grabs amongst other things, so if you've never had a tarot reading before, today could be the day! #silverkiss
   
• 21:29:46: RT @PeterAWu: Urban Wolf! "If we start seeing werewolves as dangerous animals again, it’s a huge step backwards."http://bit.ly/bHJ02K
   
• 21:36:07: #silverkiss Anyone got any favourite supernatural beasties they'd like to see in the next Urban Wolf novel? Vampires? Fairies?
   
• 21:51:11: @mikodragonfly Oh, that might be cool! Irish folklore never goes amiss. How about a kelpie too? Don't think I've seen that #silverkiss
   
• 21:53:37: @QueeredFiction Could be a new job in the works for her: Ayla Hammond, Vampire Slayer has a ring to it! #silverkiss
   
• 21:56:39: @mikodragonfly Would you go for the traditional man-drowning/man-eating kelpie, or a more sexed-up, softer version? #silverkiss
   
• 21:57:09: @QueeredFiction Ah. Back to the tattoo parlour it is! #silverkiss
   
• 22:00:26: @QueeredFiction And how do you like your banshees? #silverkiss
   
• 22:06:10: @mikodragonfly #silverkiss Touche! So, kelpies, banshees, vampires... Any other paranormals out there begging for place in a book?
   
• 22:08:34: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss I've already planned for two more beasties in the 3rd and (hopefully) 4th book - any more may be overkill!
   
• 22:18:16: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss Eek, let me finish my angel story first! I hope to finish it one of these days...
   
• 22:20:23: Want to win ebooks, print books, tarot readings and maybe my kitchen sink? There's still time to join in! #silverkiss
   
• 22:23:42: We've talked banshees, sexy kelpies, sea monsters and werebadgers... And I'm not going anywhere until we get to weremolluscs #silverkiss
   
• 22:32:53: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss Maybe we'll find out in a future book?
   
• 22:37:36: RT @QueeredFiction: Save Naomi's Kitchen Sink! Tweet to tag #silverkiss URBAN FANTASY author Naomi Clark is talking about SILVER KISS, ...
   
• 22:38:30: #silverkiss No kitchen sinks were harmed in the writing of Silver Kiss. Just a few werewolves...
   
• 22:43:19: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss Honestly, I'm not a fan of the "softer, sexier" versions of vampires and werewolves you see a lot of right now
   
• 22:44:06: #silverkiss I like my monsters monstrous, where possible! Vampires shouldn't just be people with pointy teeth
   
• 22:44:45: #silverkiss I I love authors like Kit Whitfield who explore supernatural creatures in a very different way
   
• 22:47:47: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss I suppose Shannon would agree with that!
   
• 22:50:34: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss Oh yeah, I'm exactly the same... I just don't believe in sparkly supernaturals, dare I say it!
   
• 22:51:26: @leasbreda #silverkiss We can talk selkies! I think part of the appeal of supernatural creatures is how different they are from us...
   
• 22:52:09: #silverkiss... And how we can explore our own lives and behaviours through them
   
• 22:53:05: @leasbreda So, got any favourite selkie stories?
   
• 22:57:57: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss *seals lips* So! PIs, drugs, werewolves, drag queens, and ferals!
   
• 23:00:50: @leasbreda #silverkiss I love stuff like that! I wrote part of my dissertation on werewolves as a metaphor for adolesence
   
• 23:08:00: @leasbreda #silverkiss I think traditionally werewolves are portrayed as incredibly masculine creatures. Hollywood certainly focuses...
   
• 23:08:34: #silverkiss... on male werewolves over female, with a few exceptions like Ginger Snaps. My personal theory is that people have trouble...
   
• 23:09:18: #silverkiss... juxtaposing the image of a woman (vulnerable, feminine) with a hairy, bloodthirsty monster
   
• 23:09:44: #silverkiss Hopefully Ayla can help change that view!
   
• 23:16:31: @leasbreda #silverkiss I totally missed out on the whole Buffy movement... I should probably try and catch up!
   
• 23:18:26: @QueeredFiction #silverkiss Angela Carter wrote some brilliant werewolf fables using old stories like that
   
• 23:20:17: #silverkiss Unlike werewolves, I can't stay up howling all night! I'm out of here for a few hours sleep. Thanks, everyone!
