Pivot Pointing

I have a number of books written that I've decided to walk back from indie horror and rewrite them as paranormal/horror thrillers targeting a trad audience. I think they'll work that way.

As I've written before, a lot of my works have those thriller aspects to them, despite my not originally setting out to be a thriller writer.

I just know that the indie horror graveyard doesn't want me haunting it. I'm not part of the indie horror clique, and the work I do doesn't apparently reach the readers I feel it should. Or not nearly enough. Ergo, bobbing and weaving to try to find the elusive readers who'll appreciate what I write.

From my perspective, at ground zero of what I've created over the years, it is interesting to see those same stories recast as thrillers. I'll know the stories as they originally were, yet hope to give them life in another arena, for other audiences, who'd have never read them in their original incarnations, but might read them in their new formats. Or not.

Maybe few enough readers are out there, and they'll just go forth into a different void. Or, perhaps worse for my self-confidence as a writer, I'll be unable to convince a feckin' agent to represent these works, so my failure will be absolute. Who knows? Good times. Stay tuned...
