I agree with what you say, but I...Great post, Rae!<br /><br />I agree with what you say, but I think writers, authors mostly, will always be able to bring 'fresh' to the table. Why? Because no two authors are the same and each one brings his/her own voice and particular style to the mix. <br /><br />Still, there is a big element of 'push the bar' that will help break through, but voice wil be a determinant part of what makes it across in the future.<br /><br />Was great to see you on here!

And thanks to Lilly Gayle for introducing you to the genre.<br /><br />AR - I get so excited when I read books that 'push the bar'. I've read so many great paranormal and fantasy novels lately that have just blown my mind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275093834818398021.post-87893518638405100932011-01-25T11:48:37.271-06:002011-01-25T11:48:37.271-06:00I think paranormal will stay hot as long as author...I think paranormal will stay hot as long as authors keep pushing the bar. They can't always be a vampire/werewolf/demon(et cetera, et cetera) love story. There are thousands and thousands of creatures beyond that worth exploring. And thousands of ways to shake them up. Not that there's anything wrong with the favorites. There are some damn good stories on the shelves out there.Allison Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815938562546801372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275093834818398021.post-59020797020606424732011-01-25T11:45:51.203-06:002011-01-25T11:45:51.203-06:00I read my first modern day paranormal romance, OUT...I read my first modern day paranormal romance, OUT OF THE DARKNESS by Lilly Gayle. Vincent Maxwell is a vampire who wants to be human again and discovers that Dr. Megan Harper has discovered a possible cure to vampirism, so he worms his way into her research and into her heart as well. Can a vampire and a mortal find a way to blend their lives and in the process find happiness together?<br />The plot turns, the familiar settings and the sexual scenes between Megan and Vincent were a fantastic, a can't put down read and the surprising ending was superb with supporting characters such as a compelling vixon (Sonia), and a best friend (Tina). Of course, as an added attraction there were very chilling villains.<br />OUT OF THE DARKNESS is Lilly Gayle's first novel, and my favorite book of 2010.rbooth43https://www.blogger.com/profile/13397822821356862700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275093834818398021.post-58448756582638787692011-01-25T11:38:34.051-06:002011-01-25T11:38:34.051-06:00As a paranormal writer I hope the genre stays hot....As a paranormal writer I hope the genre stays hot. But I also write them because I love reading and writing them. I am not writing the genre because it is what is hot right now. If the genre crashed tomorrow I would continue the write my para stories. You have to write what you love. I also believe if you have a really great story it will get published even if the genre is lagging. You just have to come up with a unique story that will knock the socks off a publisher. Easier said than done I know but if you pour your heart and soul into a story then your vision will shine through. I don't write paranormal because I jumped on the ban wagon. The paranormal worlds are what fuels my imagination. Great blog!Tabitha Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481112489770686775noreply@blogger.com
