Me, I'm a western historical romance gal, but I have dabbled in romantic suspense, contemporary, chick lit, and medical romance. I love them all, but my passion is in the old west.

"Once upon a time there was a spaceship full of witches ..." and the various uses of magic to facilitate space travel was a lot of fun to write.<br /><br />Another example is my short story "Sorceress" which should appear in the April issue of "The Lorelei Signal." A physicist, Curly Jones, is dumped by a wormhole experiment that goes awry into a world where magic works. <br /><br />A WIP titled "Cop with a Wand" turned out as a sort of "Paranormal Police Procedural," another interesting mix. I really don't do romances, so I can't say right now how that would work, but if I ever do try it, I'll give odds that one of the romantic couple will turn out to be something other than a normal human ...Jim Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033770381343017153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806526271153996991.post-86953865586902937532011-03-31T11:32:15.645-04:002011-03-31T11:32:15.645-04:00I love a good paranormal romance.

I'd begun my writing career with mainstream works, but after writing a psychological suspense book, turned to romance. At first I concentrated on romantic comedy because it came easy to me and was a lot of fun to write. Then I turned to romantic suspense.<br />Now I'm into full-fledged mystery writing but I find that my romantic background comes out in it as well. So I guess my choice would be to combine mystery with romance.<br />Pat DalePat Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190006506963492515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806526271153996991.post-79060491645086602772011-03-31T09:58:42.276-04:002011-03-31T09:58:42.276-04:00Thanks, J.Q. but I wouldn't call it a real mys...Thanks, J.Q. but I wouldn't call it a real mystery. I mean let's face it all stories are a bit of a mystery because the reader doesn't know what happens next, even in mainstream fiction. If we knew what happened next, we'd quit reading. My next book, Double the Trouble (release date in May) is more of a mystery romance.Roseanne Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473329969019245459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806526271153996991.post-79181283368671755402011-03-31T09:52:33.317-04:002011-03-31T09:52:33.317-04:00Yes, you definitely emphasized romance in Stranger...Yes, you definitely emphasized romance in Stranger on the Shore with an element of mystery.
