Claws and Paws, published in 2022, is a multi-author anthology that brings Keira Blackwood’s paranormal romance sensibility into a shared collection alongside other writers working in similar territory. Anthologies in the shifter romance genre tend to group authors who share a tonal approach, and based on the title, this one sits firmly in the playful, animal-pun tradition that Blackwood’s own catalog helped establish.
For readers already familiar with Blackwood’s longer series, a contribution to a shared anthology gives a snapshot of her writing without the context of an ongoing storyline. Her stories tend to land well in shorter formats because the character dynamics she builds work quickly, and the paranormal elements do not require extensive setup to feel coherent.
Anthology collections also serve as a practical way to discover new authors, and Claws and Paws likely introduces readers to other voices in paranormal shifter romance who operate in the same general range as Blackwood. For collectors of her work, it rounds out the picture of her career alongside the standalone novels and short fiction entries.
