I can't write light. I wish I could. If I do it's a struggle. Then I forget and slip back to the darkside. To be honest I gave up on categorizing my work--my agent and Laura Cifelli said it's grown up chick lit and that works for me. =) Off to read Sharon's post. LOL@killings not being light and airy.

And I could be so very dead wrong, but I really think adventure is ripe to hit big. I call my historicals "adventure" rather than suspense, because like you they aren't really suspense. My agent calls them very "Indiana Jonish" *g* I'm trying to remember how many people I killed in my story hehe. At first glance, I suppose it's rather morbid sounding because I killed the heroine's entire family, the hero's best friend, the guy who killed the heroine's family... Ok ok so maybe I got carried away *g* I like adventure, Steph. And I could be so very dead wrong, but I really think adventure is ripe to hit big.

I've always said its romance suspence with a twist. The readers getting more than what they expected that way. Jerri Steph, heck, my writing is light and airy on the suspense side.

I have a hard time with suspense. And I'd have to agree...your stuff is adventure. And thanks again for the congrats. You have a lot of class, Steph, and I'm proud to call you a friend. Larissa, who is now past the mushy stage and is back to wanting to mail you a grasshopper leg for fun. I write romantic adventure, too. I have a hard time with suspense.
