| Forever Young: Blessing or Curse by Morgan Mandel |
Though the book had not yet been completed, I did meet with an agent at the Love is Murder Mystery Conference last February, and explained my novel's concept, and she called it a paranormal thriller, so I'm kind of sticking with that description.
After hearing how long it would take to get the novel approved by an agent, then a publisher, then get it published, I decided to do it myself. One reason is I'm not exactly young any more. Though the character in my book can go back to when she was 24, I don't have that ability. If I did, the book wouldn't be paranormal.
What about you? Do you know of books that defy specific labels, and are hard to pin down exactly what they are?

That's a most intriguing concept!

There are a lot of books like this one, Morgan. As it has more than one genre, it's technically speculative fiction. As so few people actually know what that is, it's best to combine the genres that people are familiar with and run with that. :) We have numerous books that are speculative fiction, but we rarely sell them as that for this reason.

Nice post! Thanks for sharing.
I love the cover, Morgan, and look forward to reading the book. I'm currently putting together a book of interviews titled THE MYSTERY WRITERS, and when I asked Lawrence Block how he classified his books (so I'd know which chapter to place him in), he said his work was unclassifiable. So, sometimes we have to invent a new subgenre. :)
Amazing post! i am so thankful to you! quite informative and interesting as well... appreciate your efforts!
Interesting post. Thanks.
I always wonder what defines a book as women's fiction. And then some people divide that into women's fiction and commercial women's fiction.
happy holidays to everyone!
Super Amazing
I think I'm among other authors who like to mix genres.

I just finished reading Forever Young, and to me it has strong elements of a romance and has the pacing of a thriller. So romantic thriller would be my tag.
