But it could be the it doesn't differ too much from the romantic suspense that I write now. I don't have any interest in writing fantasy or science fiction. I did start a historical romance this past year, and it took a lot of research before I started. I still have hopes for it--someday. But I have 4 or 5 other stories that I want, or maybe need to write first. I have their concepts plotted out. Oh, wait, did I say I didn't do science fiction?

JK Rowling did pretty well with her non-fantasy book about small-town drama. <br /><br />I'm trying to think of others, where they use a pseudonym to break out of the genre. I feel like there's a primarily Romance author who writes mysteries, but I can't pull that name out of a hat. <br /><br />I'd like to write a fantasy. And a mystery. And... maybe I should just write <i>something</i> first. =)Jon Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283068961865370674noreply@blogger.com
