The wolves in my urban fantasy series can be considered “werewolves”. Likewise, they can be shifters. When I first started writing and the world of the Lang grew in my head, the idea that they were actually wolf-weres became stronger.
For people who play D & D, you might be aware that wolf-weres are actually wolves who can shift into human. I think there are authors who have explored this concept as well in fantasy and paranormal fiction.
Yes, the Lang are wolf-weres, of sorts.
Yet, I sometimes wonder if we as authors are splitting hairs when it comes to terminology. And if so, why?

I think it’s important to split hairs when it comes to terminology. After all, words are all we ahve to kidnap the reader and drag them into our own worlds…

True, true. Words are how we hook our readers.
