Over the last few months I have been seriously considering a genre change. As you may or may not know I have had one novella and three short stories published in Erotic Romance, and don't get me wrong the genre is challenging and fun... But it's just not me any more - thus the Pseudonym.
I know I will always love romance and that romance will always be a large part of my stories BUT I really don't enjoy stories where romance is the main plot and conflict... I need action, mystery, scary stuff happening *Spars gruffly with self and laughs heroically*
*Thinking* You know back in the days when I wrote fanfiction I was pretty popular with the 13 - 24 age groups, or in other words Young Adults. After I knew this I started writing mainly for this group and loved it! The style flowed easily and I enjoyed the freedom of not having to be completely adult-logical. Just that little bit more wild, little bit more free, that little bit more surprised and afraid of things that we older folks barely blink at now...
So I know what I want to do. I want to write for Young Adults. I want to write about strong young women solving mysteries, living through scary ghost stories, facing bad guys head on and coming out victorious.
I have no idea if I'll be able to succeed in this genre but I'm going to give it a damn good try. Wish me luck!!

Hi Sandy,
It's great that you know what you want to write and what motivates you. Writing because you love what you're doing and you feel it's going to be fun is the best way!
Enjoy! :)
I bet those stories will be terrific.
Thanks Cat and Liselm! I'm working on my first now through HTTS so I guess we'll see how it goes.
Thanks for stopping by :D
