Timeless- Writing cross genre books
Writing Timeless my Cross Genre-Paranormal- Science Fiction book
I’m quickly learning that writing
things out of the norm makes it difficult to sell books. My book Timeless sold
442 copies in the month of October.
And I’m proud of that. It’s a book that took me three years and a trip
to Scotland to write. And I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever
written.
But it hasn’t sold as well as my
Navy SEAL romances.
I know that military romance is
BIG. And I love my Navy SEALs. They’re all alpha, macho, tough hot, and OMG handsome ---well you get the gist.
But Quinn Douglas is all those
things and then some. He works in a specialized, very dangerous field of deep
salvage diving. He plays the flute in his off weeks, because when you are saturated to a specific depth you
usually work up to a month living inside the pot and going down as deep as
you’re saturated.
In my minds eye he’s Gerard Butler
mixed with a little Adrian Paul. OMG. Are you drooling yet?
He’s tough, smart, alpha and a
really hot lover. And he dives like a Navy SEAL. Well actually more and better
than a Navy SEAL. And he’s very strong because he’s had to work up to 8 hours a
day beneath water pressure guaranteed to leave your muscles shaking like jello. So he’s strong, both physically and mentally.
And he’s faithful, generous, and
loves profoundly. What better characteristics can a hero have?
My heroine Regan Stanhope is an
Archeologist. She comes from a tough background where her mother was mentally
unbalanced (or was she) and a drug addict. She may have taken drugs to escape
the visions she had. And Regan was placed up for adoption.
The book is an unusual combination
of paranormal because the characters have a connection to each other and
experience paranormal visions throughout the book. It’s also Science fiction
dealing with the healing and regenerative properties of magnetic fields and the
possibilities of being able to cross over into other dimensions through the use
of them.
Should I have categorized it as a Paranormal
or as Science Fiction? You’ll have
to let me know after you’ve read the book.
I’d love your opinion!!!!
Timeless Blurb:
Archaeology student, Regan Stanhope, lands the chance of a
lifetime when she’s chosen to work on a summer dig in Loch Maree, Scotland. The
ancient monoliths hidden beneath the loch are the most important discovery
since Stonehenge. And for seven hundred years, they have been waiting—for her.
Saturation diver Quinn Douglas is contracted to recover some
of the megaliths from the loch’s bottom. The job will breathe life into the
struggling salvage business he and his brothers are building. But from the
moment he arrives, Quinn is plagued by dreams and feelings from a past he did
not live. Or did he?
Regan and Quinn are drawn to each other as they research the
monoliths and the reason behind their shared visions. But both sense something
mystical at work, delving into their minds, manipulating their emotions. And
when they finally discover the monoliths’ extraordinary secret, they know they
must seal them away from those who are desperate to unlock their power. Even if
it means remaining caught in a timeless struggle between the past and present
forever.
