Harlequin novel uses word otherkin

Content warnings: Misrepresentation, or at least semantic drift. If you look for a preview of the book in question on Google Books, be forewarned that it contains graphic sex scenes.

Last December: Another paranormal romance novel was published that uses the word "otherkin" to mean a supernatural creature that can change its physical shape. (This is different from what “otherkin” means in real life.) As far as I can tell, Elle James's Demon's Embrace only uses the word "otherkin" twice, but it's there.

Otherworlds Festival - Phoenix, Arizona - November 23-24, 2013

[jarandhel.livejournal.com]

Unlike most "faery festivals" which are not geared towards those who identify as faery themselves, Otherworlds Festival (also known as the Fireland Phoenix Faery Festival) has put out a call for us:

"The Goblin Market Master has invited all the Vampires, Therians, Fae, Magickal Practitioners, Otherkin of all varieties, Steampunkers, Cosplayers, Roleplayers, Pirates, and Chrononauts of Arizona to come attend the 2013 Otherworlds Festival in Phoenix on November 23rd-24th at Castles and Coasters."

Their Facebook page reiterates this call:

"The Goblin Market Master has invited all the Otherfolk to an amusement park. Pirates, chrononauts, vampires, otherkin, therians, the wise... all together!"
