Erotic Romance Murder Mysteries

The New Genre that I am writing in.

I have a saying. Create your own genre if the one that you are looking for does not exist. Most writers stick to what is already out there. I was like that...at first. After publishing several erotic romance novels, I felt like I was trapped writing in that genre forever. I felt that way because I assumed that you (the reader) wanted more erotic romance from me. But I quickly learned that you (the reader) just wanted to be lost in a world and ultimately to be entertained. So, that is what I shall do. I will write in this new genre so that my characters will pull you into their worlds leaving you ravaged and wanting more. I will entertain you and captivate you all at the same time.
