At the risk of opening up another can of worms, I haven't seen that many paranormal romances(as in: hero, heroine, one or both are 'otherworldly', romance worked out in 'otherworldly' world, HEA, next book has different couple) released in comparison to the numbers of <i>urban fantasies</i>(narrarated by female protagonist first person POV, or could be multi-POV third person, 'otherworldly' issues, no true HEA, next book features same characters) I've seen on the "upcoming" pages. Jackie Kessler said in the other post that she assumed her book was an urban fantasy but Kensington put "paranormal romance" on the spine--which leads me to question the use of "paranormal romance" when it is the "urban fantasy" that is being gobbled up by readers. I'm interested in very well-done urban fantasy, but my interest in actual paranormal romance has waned. I wonder what is meant by “paranormal romance”?

I’m interested in very well-done urban fantasy, but my interest in actual paranormal romance has waned.

Considering the fact that Grimshaw seems to defy some of the stereotypes bandied about concerning corporate buyers, does she have any views on the chain/indie divide? Fabulous interview, Jane!

Nice to know paranormal isn't slowing down. I love reading and writing the genre. And I want to say, I hope historicals make a comeback too! Like a lot of romance readers, I cut my teeth on historicals and am always looking for a good one. Great info, great interview. Nice to know paranormal isn’t slowing down.
