should the genre be fantasy, then?
I try to add the genre to books on the wish list to attract scanners who are
interest in that genre, but unless the requester tells me what it is I have to
go to amazon and make a best guess. Maybe I should just list books under
fiction and not add genre

Hi, Cindy, I've noticed that their are books I like which fall
into multiple categories. Take for instance what you said about Deanna
Raybourn.
I agree there are definitely mystery plotting elements in her books. Also, I
see
a bit of fantasy in them, but no magic to speak of. Cindy, I really don't want
to give anything away to detract from your reading pleasure, but I can say the
hero of these books is quite different from the run-of-the-mill Victorian
gentleman (or is he a gentleman?) Ms. Feehan's books are romances, but they
involve people who are different, either by not being quite human due to an
ability that humans don't generally have (shape shifting or having to sustain
their lives by dieting on blood), or they may have some magical ability. I
haven't seen any book by her where both protagonists are common ordinary
people.
Other authors who mix romance with other genres are Susan Krinard, Maggie
Shayne, and Catherine Asaro. I wonder what new permutations the romance novel
will add. Just for curiosity, is there a romance/horror mix (shudder)? What
will
authors think of next, I wonder? Regards, Kim.

According to amazon.com, Deanna Raybourne's genre
is are romantic mystery. Here's part of the first line of a review
of the first book in the Lady Julia Grey novels, Silent on the Moor: "A
sassy heroine and a masterful, secretive hero. Fans of romantic mystery
could ask no more"

Hi, Cindy, I saw to my delight that the first
two books in the Study series by Maria V. Snyder, i.e., Poison
Study and Magic Study are in the Bookshare collection. Did
you know that Ms. Snyder has written a third book in the Study series,
i.e., fire Study? I confess I heard the first book on XM
satellite radio and had help downloading the other two books in the
Study series. I can assure you they are interesting. Another author you
might like to add to the Bookshare collection is Deanna Raybourn.. I
mention this for the benefit of other people. They may like these
books.
(Since I've joined audible.com, I plan to have help downloading
unabridged stuff that isn't available anywhere else..) Also, do you
have
plans to add all the other books in the Dark series, the Leopard
series,
and the seventh book in the Drake Sisters series by Christine Feehan?
Yeah, Cindy, my completist soul is yammering at me again. C'est la vie.
Take care and best regards, Kim, quiet kibitzer and Bookshare
fan.
