My problem with paranormal is that I don't really like werewolves or vampires or the fey in general, unless they're the antagonist. Though I have enjoyed some shapeshifter stuff by Marjorie M. Liu, which usually has characters of colour, come to think of it.

I will look up Jenkins! Thank you.

ETA: If there were someone like Zoe Chant doing historical, like tropy short adventure stories, but no shapeshifters, I'd be likely to enjoy those.
