I was chatting with a friend of mine yesterday about the nature of romance stories. From the publisher’s point of view, you pretty well think of boxes that stories fit in, either soft and tender romance, action romance, thriller romance, paranormal romance, erotic romance, Etc. Or even stories that cross over into general fiction. In our discussion, we talked about what happens with stories that don’t fit the boxes. Do you simply choose not to publish them? Because their target audience is hard to establish.
As a reader, and I do read a lot, I switch the reading genres all the time. I read a lot of crime, historical, sci-fi, romance and erotica….. actually, a lot of erotica, the truth be told. So my question to you is how do you feel about the stories you read, do you read different types of romance? Multiple genres? And what about stories that start out in a conventional way but have a supernatural twist?
As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on the blog, Facebook, or twitter
