Guest Post: Midsummer, by Erin McRae and Racheline Maltese

Midsummer

One of the things Erin & I are interested in is where the line is between contemporary and paranormal, both in the romance genre and beyond it. Do we need shifters, vampires, and fae to call something paranormal or does superstition entertained as part of the totally rationally world catapult us into the paranormal genre? Our new novella Midsummer (Love’s Labours 1) is a contemporary romance set at a theater nestled in the Virginia Woods. But it also features a character who needs contact with trees like the rest of us need oxygen, who reacts with profound physical fascinating to … Read more

“Song of Oestend” By Marie Sexton

Genre: MM Fantasy Romance Length: Novel Song of Oestend takes place in an alternate reality and resembles the Old West, but with some odd technologies, ancient mysticism, and ghosts thrown in for fun. I would feel comfortable labeling it as steampunk, paranormal, or fantasy, but I labeled it as fantasy because both steampunk and paranormal fit into that genre. Aren Montrell is a social leper from the city, and to get away from it all, he travels to Oestend for a job as a bookkeeper. Of all the cities he could have chosen, I honestly have no idea why he … Read more

Vietnam Bans Gay Romance Novels

Danmei

The books, most of which started as web fiction, were accused of giving young people unrealistic ideas about love and relationships and even promoting … Read more
