I need to update my Books page again.
After re-issuing the updated and revised HEAD OVER HEELS on Kindle, iTunes, Kobo, ARe and Smashwords (which will eventually distribute the book to Nook), I had intended to update and revise BORROWING ALEX for self-publishing. That’s still on the go, with a bit of a wait. I have two short stories in my five-part romantic comedy series, LOVE AND OTHER CALAMITIES, nearly ready to put up. The first story, Deceiving Derek (which was once available from an e-publisher who sold about 8 copies and didn’t pay me the royalties), is in the editing stage, while the second original story, Catching Claire, is in revisions. I’ve decided to publish them both before tackling the second edition of BORROWING ALEX. This way I’ll have three Sindie releases available for sale while I work on the BORROWING ALEX re-issue. One of my subsidiary rights publishers is waiting to look at Deceiving Derek and Catching Claire, so it makes sense to work on the shorts first. In the meantime, BORROWING ALEX remains for sale as an audiobook at AudioLark, Audible and iTunes. So it’s not completely out of the loop.
Today I’m working on revisions for Catching Claire. Working on this story reminds me of how much I love writing romantic comedy. It might not be the flavor of the month (or the year), but romcom and contemporary romance are what I love to write. I might include a mystery or bit of a suspense plot (like in the single title romantic comedy/mystery I’m currently marketing), but the heart of my books is in “straight” romance. By that, I don’t mean “not gay romance.” I mean you’re not likely to catch me writing dark paranormal suspense or a thriller, or, heaven forbid, a horror novel. My imagination wouldn’t survive the latter!
Contemporary has my heart.
What’s your favorite romance genre?
