Dark Fantasy & Romance: my forte.
Why write this genre? I’ve been asked this question many times, most loudly and
repeatedly by my mother. (after she read my first novel, which was an adult yum
yum, Hot Tamale, read between the bed sheets kind of novel) “Sarah, what
will people think?” she’d ask after finishing chapter 44, a ridiculous
“stick your head in the freezer to cool down” chapter. My response? People will
think my husband should write an American Kama Sutra. …she didn’t like the joke.
But, the truth is that I’ve always been
writing love stories, even as a child. Any book I’ve ever read or movie I’ve
seen, my imagination gets the best of me and goes then what? So did
Cinderella find some new boss shoes to replace her glass ones? What happened to
Prince Charming? What happened to the Little Mermaid? Did she love her life
above sea or did she fall head over fin for a manlier mermaid? Did little Red
Riding Hood find some new pet wolves? (or in my adult years: did Hood fall in
love with a werewolf?) I think it’s a desperate cry for help, my imagination.
But, I hate having a story end! Not only that, but I love when people fall in
love (and out, but only for added drama).
Romance and all things fantasy will be
the genre in which I write because my imagination will allow nothing
else.
Sarah - I love how your mind works! LOL
