There is a Market for Every Book

I call my recently published book “the kind of fiction no one writes anymore.” There was a time when authors such as Victoria Holt, Elizabeth Peters, and a host of other writers dominated the genre of Historical Fiction/Romance/Mystery. Over time, graphic sex began to dominate that genre instead. Many books in the Historical Romance category suddenly offered nothing more than flat, cookie-cutter characters that were the same from one novel to the next, with the primary emphasis placed on multiple scenes of graphic sex. I have nothing against erotica, but I think books like that probably belong in the erotica category, rather than the category of historical fiction or historical romance.

The novel I wrote has a very strong love story that I’m told brought several people to tears. However, the main emphasis is on the characters and why they do what they do, as opposed to what the characters do in bed. I was surprised at how well it started to do on various sites and the many comments I’ve received thanking me for a book that is rich in history, features multidimensional characters, and offers a strong mystery plot as opposed to multiple sex scenes, a weak storyline and a few historical facts thrown in just to make it fit the category. I really hope I have reached readers out there who think no one writes these kinds of books anymore, because there are plenty of us out here to do and we are trying to be heard. If you’re looking for a story that’s meaty as opposed to fleshy, this is the book for you!
