Cross-genre experimental can mean several things to different people,
but in relation to what I write allow me to breakdown what it means to me.
My stories begin with Romance. However, in order to satisfy my imagination,
I have to write historical. After that, anything goes. This is where, some
of the time, cross-genre experimental comes in.


Mostly, I write straight historicals; fictional characters in a different time period
than the one in which we dwell. From there, it could go paranormal, mythological,
erotic romance, fantasy. . . It all depends upon the story.


The voice is the same, but my stories are separated by different
sub-genres. For instance, you won’t find the spiritual/supernatural

qualities of “Remember Me” in any of my other stories.
Please see “What’s in the Can” for a brief blurb from my other completed works.
 
Erotic romance vs. regular romance
 

Erotic Romance
: The quantity of love scenes is abundant. The quality
is very detailed, down to the last shiver, if you will.
Regular Romance: May be a lower quantity of love scenes and the
quality is not as visual.
There has been some debate on the fact that recently, the
love scenes in romance are getting hotter, much like the
quality of love scenes in an erotic romance.
And in some cases, yes, they are.
My straight historical love scenes tend to lean toward the
hot, steamy quality you will find in
erotic romance, just not as frequent.
That’s the experimental part.

    Aye! I will agree. As a writer, I’ve stepped up the love scenes, but they don’t happen as frequently. I enjoy how hot and heavy they’ve been lately, but also enjoy the waiting in between…the anticipation is great!

    Crossing over is a delightful blend of what you like to write/read. My current book – MIDNIGHT CONQUEST – is the same. I LOVE historical AND vampire romance, so I combined the two by starting much earlier in the vampire’s life instead of jumping right into the contemporary with a few hundred years already under his belt. It allows me to explore the centuries with my characters AND hopefully my readers will enjoy the same journey.

    Nice blog, G!!

    That’s my two pence…

    Great description G, being a reviewer. I read historical and erotic romance. And I agree, the authors of regular romance are stepping it up. Which is something I have enjoyed.
