Guess who I am saying 'namaste' to today right here? Denise Covey! Who co-hosts Write...Edit...Publish and needs no introduction. I've known her for many, many Moons, since the infancy of my blogging days. A blogger, teacher, and author whose varied works I admire and enjoy hugely, Denise straddles across several genres, contemporary romance and paranormal, travel writing and self-help and chick-lit. Today she is talking about Gothic novels and the making of her paranormal romance, Under the Tuscan Moon. All yours, Denise, take it away -
I love writing contemporary romance, but I also like to dabble in the paranormal. If you're not familiar with paranormal romance, it’s a combination of romantic fiction and speculative fiction. Paranormal romance’s focus is on romantic love, but it includes elements beyond the range of scientific explanation. It blends together themes from the speculative fiction genres of fantasy, science fiction and horror.
In
my first paranormal novella, Under the Tuscan Moon, I have combined these
elements with a heavy dose of the Gothic I so love.
