One of the hardest things about My Son wasn't writing it, but classifying it afterwards. Suspense. GLBT. Romance.
It's a little bit of everything, but not any one in specific. Does that make sense?
A lot of authors who weren't classified as genre fiction writers are dabbling, while others are classified as Romance who argue the point. We see battles waging in the world of Chick Lit, now it's more politically correct to say Women's fiction.
How do you guys feel about genre fiction?

Hello to you all, dear readers!
I feel it has been some time since I sent a newsletter out. I do hope you are all doing well. I’ve been enjoying myself lately with a trip to Japan a few weeks ago. What an interesting and ancient culture.

I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to the creator of contemporary romance novel, Sierra Falls by Martha O’Sullivan. She writes what she knows from beautiful Lake Tahoe. Each of her books; Second Chance, Chance Encounter, Last Chance, and Christmas in Tahoe were created with that lovely town in mind. She has a connection with it and her love of it shines in her tales. Please enjoy her interview.

14 years agoHello Angela,
Here at Heart Press, we "classify" Women's Fiction as works that appeal more to women than men. A simple, often easy to understand definition, thus Chicklit, Romance, etc are each a subset. When a title is straight romantic, happy ending and all, we place it in the Amazon catalog as Romance, competing with many thousands of titles. However, if there isn't any romance or the ending is rough, Women's Fiction is an ideal category for a title about relationships, divorce, sisters, domestic life, etc.
Romance Writers of America has placed a very strict guideline on their Women's Fiction classification, which I believe muddies the waters. http://www.rwa-wf.com/about/
