The Way of the Wolf
Phew.
I've been re-doing and tweaking my werewolf stuff, hoping to publish it. I hadn't before, because really, where do you publish stuff on Harry Potter? Back in 2005, 2006, and 2007, not as easy as it sounds! Anyway, of course this requires lit. reviews and . . . .
Son of Merlin, there has been a quite good dissertation (2009) and at least one good book (2012) published in the meantime!
I really have to hand it to Kimberley McMahon-Coleman and Roslyn Weaver: their work on contemporary pop culture werewolves is dizzyingly thorough and covers tons of stuff. But if I published, how in Hades would I convince anyone that I was working and presenting on this before this book was published and before Renee Ward did her dissertation?
Ta-da!
I'm not saying it's better, or even as good, necessarily, and they certainly couldn't have known about it; they're meticulous about citing everything they found. But nifty-doodle, I am not a copycat. It is there in printy stuff.
No idea who'd want to publish something that covers something that was covered elsewhere, but it IS there, and my claim to be a Harry Potter werewolf specialist remains undimmed. Thank you!
