Last week though, I was perusing the shelves at Barns and Noble and looked up at the sign announcing I was in the "Teen Paranormal Romance" section. Why did they have to call it that?!! I slunk away to the grown up books.Shelley Fossehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980583765562593448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-13228448791097030682011-02-28T19:25:36.729-07:002011-02-28T19:25:36.729-07:00Well said!

What is that exactly? Is it Youth Fantasy? Or YA fantasy romance? And do banished princes from another plane of existence count as paranormal? Its quite confusing. <br />TIA<br />ChristyChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922871961153388205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-65632175976227680262011-02-28T14:56:53.310-07:002011-02-28T14:56:53.310-07:00Nice explanation of the various categories.

My book is contemporary, has a romance that ultimately fits the romance formula, but there is also quite a bit of self discovery and family relationship drama too. Still a romance? Or general fiction that includes a romance? I don't know...Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739365854048008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-27776515394726530672011-02-28T09:36:57.765-07:002011-02-28T09:36:57.765-07:00Er . . .
