Macabre Romance?
Some thoughts I’ve been kicking around… Most of you…all of you…may have noticed the sudden evolution taking place with genre writing since authors went to indie. Indie publishing allows authors to break away from conforming genre titles like fantasy, romance, history, and sci-fi. Now, authors can create that “Gothic sci-fi historical fantasy romance murder mystery” […]
