Fiction Writing

Romantic Fiction
I'm working on a full length novel that I plan to have completed by the end of December 2009 and submit to publishers.

I have submitted short romantic fiction to www.faithwriters.com.

Science Fiction
I've put my science fiction stories into the lower priority queue. I hope to develop and publish them after I have at least two successful romance novels published.

Story Behind the Switch
I had planned on writing primarily science fiction novels with an occassional romantic novel over the years. After observing the ratio of romantic fiction to science fiction in local book stores at greter than 2:1, I decided to change priorities and work on developing and publishing my romantic fiction stories first. There is a much larger market for romantic fiction and it is easier to enter than science fiction.
