Briggs, Patricia

Admission of guilt here. I've only read her newest book Moon called. Moon Called is a great book. The main character's name is Mercy. Mercy can turn into a coyote. raised among werewolves she has a hint of what to do when Mac shows up on her doorstep. Good thing to because chaos soon follows. The authors site says that she's working on a sequel.

I don't know much about her earlier works. From my quick scan they seem king of D&D/ Tolken types.
