Hi, Cindy, I would call it a fantasy/romance or a
romance/fantasy depending on which is more predominant. Of course this is a
judgment call. The problem with categorizing anything is that you will find
items that have a little of everything in them. If all this fails and you don't
wish to class it as slipstream (what a convenient name for books which defy
category makers), you can throw up your hands, don't think about it, and do
something less stressful. Good luck and best regards,
Kim

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.
