Genre

Genre as a marketing category!
Publishers and editors do not think about genre the same way authors do. Here's an explanation.



... Now I write an ode to spinach:
spinach,
you
are green
and
i wish i had more
of you than
what I ate
(yum yum yum)
at five in the morning,
dawn
creeping
up
you are
(my sunshine and)
the perfect delivery method
for salt and
garlic.

so i am a wimp...

Oh my gosh... I love Nora Roberts..

and after the Red Lily, BLue Delilah, Black Rose (one I never got to)... trilogy... no one can say she is predicatable. I love her writing, loved this trilogy... it's nothing like anything she has ever written before. I thought it was wonderful. It was so good it scared the crap out of me. (I am also a wimp & sleep with the lights on after watching Gohst Hunters). ... anyway... I couldn't bring myself to read the final installment of the trilogy. I was too scared. freaked out really. She had my worst nightmare written right out there for me, and it was phenominal...It was that good and that scary that I couldn't finish it. It really is a compliment to how good she is... really, I couldn't read Black Rose because the other two were so good, and I had no idea what to expect. lol...
