Time Travel Romances

Are these going out of style? You know, like "secret babies" a couple years ago? "Secret babies" are back, by the way. Vampire romances are making a comeback. And the spicier side of life--think "Why Choose" and "Monster Romance" are incredibly popular.

I'm immensely glad the romance genre and its subs (so much pun intended) exist. 

I received my rights back to a Time Travel Romance I published back in the day. I'm editing now. It's longer than I remember, around 77,000 words. It's contemporary. And I feel as though I simply don't see as many of these as I thought.

Needed to reclassify a couple of my stories to "Romantasy"; a word which didn't even exist when I wrote the books.  

This ties in to "writing to market."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  It's impossible. The writing market ebbs and flows. A genre breaks out as popular. Authors flood the market with the genre. Market is saturated. Sales decrease. Rinse. Repeat.

Write what you want to write. Need to write. The market, and its readers, will catch up. 

Good books always find a home.

I'll keep that in mind as I edit "In His Own Time".
