I think you mean What is the difficult genre in literature? :)
I think memoir is the most difficult to sell, if you're coming from the angle of selling...and possibly it is also the most difficult to write, sometimes painful and very personal.

Hi Ann,
First of all, thank you for a wonderful review. Your comments were appreciated. In my second novel, The Old Cape Teapot, Nancy Caldwell follows the two survivors of the pirate ship Whydah. She takes us to Anitgua and back to Cape Cod looking for more treasure. It's another fun read, alternating between the centuries again. I hope to launch my novel in late October 2014.

I take a walk, or a long shower. These are two things that you don't have to think through...the actions are automatic. They let your mind clear so you can think through plots or characters.

I get to tell a good story and someone actually listens.

Currently I am in the editing process for my second historical fiction, The Old Cape Teapot. Contemporary Nancy Caldwell follows the trails of two pirate survivors from the 1700 Whydah wreck. Nancy travels from Cape Cod to Antigua and back to the Cape solving another mystery. I use alternating chapters again and there's a bit more danger and intrigue in this one!

I found a pattern of red bricks under ten inches of dirt behind our 1880 barn. Then I thought about the people who lived in our old Cape house and questioned why they placed the bricks in that spot. That discovery and a trip to Provincetown and the Whydah Pirate Museum sparked me to write The Old Cape House.
