It’s Not a Romance… Oops!

Happy National Love and Chocolate Day!!! Here is a poem for you…

Today all the authors are sharing about their romance novels, running giveaways and promos, and injecting cute graphics into my social media feed. Naturally, I thought today would be a perfect day to share about my romance novel Kiera.

Except, minor problem. Kiera isn’t exactly a romance novel.

As my book is nearing eight months old, I’ve seen it called different genres and (through no fault of its own) none of them seem to fit. It’s a little too calm for dystopian, a little too old for YA, and a little too young for Women’s Fiction.

*throws up hands*

My novel does seem to fit best into the romance genre, given that there’s a marriage of convenience, some SUPER CUTE characters, and a romantic storyline, but when I wrote this book, that’s not the focus I had in mind.

Meet the quote that gave me my message…

Love is more than we think it is. God’s love for us is stronger, deeper, and more, more, more sacrificial than we could ever imagine. Human love should be more than fireworks and truffles, even though those are nice. So as I wrote this book, I wrote a story of two loves–God’s love for us and a human love reflecting and paralleling it, deeply, strongly, and sacrificially.
