Writing Update 2021

It's been a while...

After completing 'The Skipton Horrors' I set out to write a romance novel - a huge leap away from my comfort zone i.e fantasy, horror, and contemporary fiction. I've spent the last few months reading different styles of romance and tried to establish a unique storyline, but this only arrived at one conclusion: I am not a romance author.

The more I tried to write in this style, the more I became disheartened. To make a comparrison: it's like being offered your favourite chocolate bar, but instead you're given a stick of celery; it simply doesn't sit right.

To conclude: I've fallen back on wanting to write a new horror novel (and a story not directly tied to the previous horror books I've written). I know this goes back on what I said months ago, but there are just too many cons involved when treading into the romance genre - a heavily saturated and difficult-to-please marketplace.

For those interested, I'll post any new updates in due course. For those who continue to show me their support, thank you all so much.

Take care and stay safe, folks.
Kind regards,
Andrew.
