When and how did you discover that one genre was the one for you? Did you experiment with others, before coming to that conclusion?
I started in Fantasy, mostly Epic, played with SF and Mystery, moved to Romance and dabbled in Historical, Paranormal & Erotic Romance and am now back with Fantasy with a focus in Historical/Dark Fantasy. It's where I'm happiest.
But fantasy is where I'll be if you want me. My only problem is my characters always want to bonk...
Doesn't seem to have been a problem for Laurel K. Hamilton, Jacqueline Carey, Guy Gaveriel Kay and various other Fantasy writers.
My first fiction, a mystery, I wrote about eight years ago. Until then everything I wrote was nonfiction. I was instantly hooked. In fact, that first fiction piece is under consideration by a publisher! I love the figuring out how the pieces of the mystery and its red herrings fall into play and their effects on the story!
