I have a queer short story in an upcoming anthology with the Women Writing Other Worlds group! It's about a fae trapped in a clock, set in early 20th century Berlin. Kinda romantasy. 🌈📚 ⏳📚

The aristocrat Louise-Marie in my upcoming sapphic historical romance is nicknamed Lulu by the milliner's errand girl. The love interest Solange immediately starts using it.

Mystery overrules romance if no HEA.
Horror overrules both.
Scifi overrules Horror unless horror is central element.
Fantasy overrules all other genres.
You can have a science fantasy romantasy horror mystery, & it will still be 'Fantasy' on store shelves.
