Now
that I’m done with college for the summer, I plan to concentrate on two things.
One is the 4th

I’ve
talked to several authors who say they don’t like to step out of their comfort
zones when it comes to writing. One might insist he will never write anything
other than horror. Another may insist she will write only paranormal romance…then
I hear complaints about declining sales when the market shifts.
Publishing
is a fickle business. Just as there are trends in movies, music, and fashion,
there are trends in fiction.
Paranormal
romance is fading. I’ve realized this, so I am now
making a big change. I’m going out on a limb and writing something brand new.
The
thing with me, as a writer, is that I’ve always rolled with the punches and
changed things up over the years, so trying something new in fiction isn’t
really new to me after all. Heck, I got my official start as a paid writer by
writing for national men’s hubba-hubba magazines. I didn’t like writing such
material, but it paid the bills as well as buying a mountain of school
supplies and clothes for my kids. As time went on I left that market (free
internet sites forced it to disappear) and moved into short fantasy fiction for
a while. The internet pushed that market to dry up, too, so I shifted into
penning erotic romance novels and from there into paranormal romance…
So
what is this new endeavor? Sorry, (grins sheepishly), I never announce what I’m
writing unless it’s a series in progress like The Werewolves of Rebellion. This
new novel, however, is a genre and a theme that I’ve never ever considered
before. But you know what? I’m looking forward to writing it, exited actually.
It’s new. It’s a challenge. It’s going to be so damn hot readers will have to
keep a fire extinguisher in their laps while they read.
{rubs
hands together} Now to get started on it. Free! Free for an entire summer!
Mwahaha!
Before
I go, peeps, investigate the book tabs at the top of the page or click on the
covers to the left and read samples of The Werewolves of Rebellion. Also, I
would sooo appreciate it if you would spread the word about my site and my
books. <3 And lastly, if you would, become a follower of my site. By doing
so, each new post that I publish will be sent to your email (I do not have time
for a newsletter, lol). Leave me comments. I’ll respond!
Happy
reading!
