My novel has been placed in three different genres by critique partners and my agent. I still don't know if it even fits in anywhere. I've never tried urban fantasy because my imagination isn't that skilled. I write women's fiction because it's what I know. Good luck with your writing!!Saumyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517289532769906489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039049849428602661.post-88102816174045567942012-08-14T12:20:11.099-07:002012-08-14T12:20:11.099-07:00Actually the two over-lap.

There's humor as well as horror, mystery, and fantasy elements in my books. I don't go strictly for horror. My vampires are a bit more sophisticated, and have bottled blood, and have a donor system--at least in the first 3 books.<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in, Cyn.

So sex scenes are incidental too. I wanted, how I tried, to write urban fantasy. It just doesn't work for me because my settings don't work or I use suspense, or something else. ;-)<br /><br />Plus I stick with supernatural creatures--of some form or another. I am surprised that you aren't considered horror with the vampire elements.<br />Cyn Bagleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404416186783891402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039049849428602661.post-56416305544323477312012-08-13T13:18:58.158-07:002012-08-13T13:18:58.158-07:00~Shelly, thank you for comment and hugs!
