RE: Is it commercial suicide to write in different genres?Oddly enough, the novel in question (my second) did very well in its early months, and still holds a "personal best" record for most sales in one month over any of my other four books. In the long run (3+ years now), its sales rate has slowed to a trickle, though. WPG |
RE: Is it commercial suicide to write in different genres?Something that put me off branching out even slightly was that, when I published a romantic suspense novel under my same pen-name, its first review was absolutely appalling and the reviewer was obviously cross with me for not writing in the same style as I had for the mysteries. It didn't sell for a good while after that but it seems to have made a recovery since then with a few better reviews. |

RE: Is it commercial suicide to write in different genres?Besides, I write supernatural stories which involve crime but not much detection, and that does not seem to cause problems either. But perhaps I have just been lucky and my readers have noticed what I actually say about genres? Writer of traditional crime fiction. My blog
