I'm currently researching what genre my ms falls into. While writing it, I thought it was contemporary women's fiction. But when I presented the synopsis to a new member of my writer's group, she said it was a romance. The romances I've read have steamy love scenes. Tomorrow I'm off to the library to check out other types of romances.Monica Epsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970581656370043651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083841011327244440.post-85899864050979820452011-05-07T14:58:12.314-04:002011-05-07T14:58:12.314-04:00I started out writing an Historical Romance.

Or is it an Historical Romance Thriller? Or is it an Historical Romance with a twist? <br /><br />Oh, gosh it gets confusing.

For ex, I thought my book belonged on the shelf next to an author I like in the paranormal romance section. Then I went to another bookstore and found the exact same author's books in the horror section. I can see why each store put those books in each section, but it makes it more difficult for me to pinpoint my own genre, since my MS has the same elements of paranormal, romance, and thriller/horror.Kaleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104611823742775404noreply@blogger.com
