Here is a quick premise to my book:
Grace's dream job as the editor of a small town newspaper isn't working out. Her husband is bipolar. Her mother is a nag and her three-year-old won't sleep through the night. The sheriff of the small town she lives in has fallen in love with her, and she thinks she has feelings for him. So, what does she do? First, she gets good and mad and then she takes control of her life.
So, is this women's fiction? At first, I thought chick-lit, but after reading up on it, I find that it really doesn't fit that description.
My second question is will readers be sympathetic to a character who is married but finds herself falling for someone else. Her husband's bipolar disorder causes him to be really awful to her, and she turns to the sheriff to find support, especially since she's being tormented for a crime story she did in the paper. Eventually, as one step to taking control of her life, she will leave the position of editor, go back to the position she had before, and stay with her husband.
I've posted the first chapter in Share Your Work under Romance/Women's fiction if anyone wants to take a look. All comments are appreciated.
