Instructors: Eilis Flynn & Jacquie Rogers. There are werewolf legends all around the world, not just Europe. Do you doubt it? Consider this: One way or another, there are stories about men and even women who shapeshift into the forms of wolves and other creatures. Sometimes they wreak havoc and attack humans, sometimes...no, they usually attack humans. But there are variations in the legend. Join Eilis Flynn and Jacquie Rogers as they take a walk along the Silk Road and around the world, examining the shapeshifting legend at its core and then how the stories change from region to region.

Jacquie Rogers’ first burning desire was to be a baseball announcer, but that didn’t work out so she decided to write romance novels. She has several novels out, the latest of which is the second in the Much Ado western romance series, Much Ado About Madams. Faery Merry Christmas is her latest fantasy release.  She also writes non-fiction with Ann Charles, including Nail It! The Secret to Building an Effective Fiction Writer’s Platform, and Growing Your Audience.  Jacquie is owner of Romancing The West, a popular western blog, and teaches online classes on various writing topics.

Eilis Flynn has spent a large share of her life working on Wall Street or in a Wall Street-related firm, so why should she write fiction that’s any more based in our world? She spends her days aware that there is a reality beyond what we can see … and tells stories about it. Published in multiple genres, she lives in verdant Washington state with her equally fantastical husband and spoiled rotten cats.
