So, in case you guys were curious about how the pack link looks visually, I got a T-shirt for Christmas that I think showcases how Shiva and her pups look when they use their signature power.

Granted, Shiva has brown eyes, not yellow eyes, but those curling fire-like tendrils? That's what the pack link would look like as it was going out to link with others.

Hey guys,

So I did some research, and I discovered that there's a National Wolf Awareness Week, from October 17th, to October 23rd.

Considering these beautiful animals inspired Shiva and Luke and all the other wolf characters in my roster, I'd like to move my publishing date for 'Of Scales and Fur' to sometime in this week of honoring our canine companion's ancestors.

On October 28th, my standalone fantasy adaptation of 'Howlite Howler,' 'Of Scales and Fur - Shiva,' is going to be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo and several other book stores.

I've worked really hard on making Shiva's story a standalone fantasy, and couldn't have done it without you guys helping me with the fanfic that started it all. Thank you very much.

I'm really excited about publishing this book, and I hope you guys will enjoy it if you check it out.

Hello and welcome to another update on the transition of 'Howlite Howler' to 'Of Scales and Fur.'

After reading my story, and knowing about my future plans, one of my friends recommended adding an epilogue to 'Of Scales and Fur' where Shiva's children from 'Howlite Howler,' Kodo and Celine, are seen as young puppies.

Welcome to another update on the adaptation of 'Howlite Howler' to 'Of Scales and Fur.'

So BleuBlooms raised a good question; why change the title? 'Howlite Howler' is fine, right? Why 'Of Scales and Fur?'

Well, part of it has to do with another one of the OCs that I replaced the Hasbro characters with.

Hello, and welcome to another update on my adaptation of 'Howlite Howler.'

So, morion87 (thank you very much for pointing this out to me, by the way ) noted that if I published 'Howlite Howler' as it's own fantasy novel, I'd be hit with a 'cease and desist' from Hasbro, since Howlite Howler uses MLP characters.

I gotta say, one of the worst things about writing is hindsight.

Hello again, and welcome to another update on the adaptation of 'Howlite Howler' to Of Scales and Fur:

So, you all know Luke, right? The diamond dog that befriends Shiva during her time in captivity, who gives her a way into a Diamond Dog pack and eventually becomes the father to her children?

Well, I'm wondering if I should expand his role a little in 'Of Scales and Fur.'

Hello again everyone,

So, I've been continuing work on adapting 'Howlite Howler' into 'Of Scales and Fur,' and I've come across a slight conundrum:

In 'Howlite Howler,' we had Beast Breaker; a cruel pony who captured Shiva and put her through a lot of torture and pain until Shiva snapped and killed him in a fit of rage, causing Twilight and most of Equestria to see Shiva as a monster due to them not knowing Beast Breaker's true actions until much later.

Hello again everyone,

Just wanted to mention that for all you fans of Shiva's adventures in Howlite Howler, I've got news:

After publishing Howlite Howler, I started adapting the story into an original fantasy thriller adventure. Sadly, this means Twilight, Celestia and Equestria in general had to go .

Hello my wonderful readers,

So, I've been re-reading Howlite Howler, and I still feel like it could use some revision, especially around when Beast Breaker has Shiva in his custody.

Hello, all my wonderful readers,

So, I've been thinking about something, and I'd like your feedback:

With Howlite Howler 3 drawing to a close, I found myself looking back on Shiva's journey. And I remembered that Luke was originally based on the Lucario Pokemon from... well, Pokemon.
