Genre Change for Children of Stone Series
Choosing a genre has been difficult for me. I'm really not an all apples or oranges kind of writer.
At first I stated the book was a Science Fiction book because there are inter-dimensional creatures as central characters and they DO have a dimensional craft (sort of). They are magical creatures who have been influencing Earth for eons, but now their mission has changed to one that is more Paranormal than Space Opera-ish.
I'm now calling the series PARANORMAL because in addition to the spirit forms of the aliens there are wizards, priests, arcane happenings, shape-shifters, astral travel, trances, auto-writing, remote viewing and a whole laundry list of things not understood by the five animal senses.
It's still HISTORICAL FICTION in the sense that I draw on actual legend, the Bible, the works of Herodotus about Egypt, conventional and unconventional archaeology and what we have found of ancient literature and religion. I have characters based on actual people from the 4th/5th dynasty of Egypt. I also have characters found NOWHERE in history.
I'm also considering the series HISTORICAL FANTASY because I fill in the gaps of what might be generally known with my OWN paranormal research on the era through book/internet work and trance channeling or dreams.
I could even give it the tag PARANORMAL ROMANCE because there is a dynamic romantic connection between several of the characters.
There are even some slight elements of CRIME DRAMA, but I wouldn't go quite that far.
Read the books and decide for yourself! I write to be discovered and enjoyed.
Coming soon, Second Edition, e-book and Book 2: Going Forth By Day
