It’s A Matter Of Style!

I’d like to give you a short introduction about the romance genre.

I typically write romantic suspense and have only recently branched out into the contemporary romance genre in A Tuscan Dream.

What is the Romance Genre?

Romance stories involve a central love story between characters with a happily ever after ending.

What are the sub-genres of romance?

Romantic Suspense

A story where the protagonists need to solve a problem, and is filled with action, suspense or mystery and the love story.

Contemporary Romance

A general love story at the time of writing or in current times.

Historical Romance

The novel occurs prior to the 1950s.

Erotic Romance

The intimacy is integral to the growth and progression of the romantic relationship, and not having this would destroy the plot.

Fantasy Romance

This sub-genre features fantastical, magical, supernatural and/or science fiction elements that are central to the plotline, characters, and setting.

These elements could include warlocks, fairies, witches, or fantastical story elements: time travel.

The setting usually occurs in a different world or alternative universe, but a few fantasy romance stories can also occur in the contemporary world.

Paranormal Romance

Focuses on paranormal phenomena and paranormal characters, featuring vampires, ghosts, angels, pixies, shapeshifters, psychics, werewolves, demons or zombies.

Romantic Comedy

Humour and romantic connection are the focus to the progression of the plotline with a happily ever after ending to the story.

Sports Romance

The central focus is on some area of the sports world. Normally, the main characters are athletes, coaches, owners, agents, and so on.

Young Adult Romance

The age group in this romance sub-genre would cater to readers from the ages of 12-18 years.

New Romance Release

I have a second contemporary romance release entitled Second Chances about a high school reunion and an old school bully from the female protagonist’s past. Can they rewrite the past and be together?

The book is currently FREE on Amazon for a limited time, and can be read for free on Kindle Unlimited. Here is the Amazon link. http://mybook.to/Secondchances
