In 2015, I had two series–my original After Eden Series (see the new covers HERE with a picture of the old ones at the bottom) and the Sleepy Hollow Horrors–and was working on a brand-new sci-fi series called Liquid Cool.
But then I asked my readers and fans in my VIP Readers’ Club for suggestions and to vote on what genre they’d like to see me write. Epic fantasy was at the top of the list. The first of my Fabled Quest Chronicles was published in 2017, with the first three books all in that one year.
So, I’ll ask again as we head into the summer of 2020. Is there a genre or sub-genre you’d like to see me write, whether as a series or a stand-alone novel?

How about developing a more serious secondary character in the Liquid Cool series. Something more noire…kinda like Crais’s Joe Pike is to Elvis Cole.
I would like to see you write a Cozy Mystery/Mystery/Suspense with both dogs and Cats in it. Also you could make your book series to write with both a heroine and hero in it not one or the other. Have both Dogs and Cats work together to help solve the crime.
I love time travel!
I like future based police procedurals, more in the hard-boiled, crime noir vein instead of the tongue-in-cheek Liquid Cool. Not too distant future, but far enough the cop could even be a human mimic droid, facing solving the crime and the speciesism associated with the anti-mech movement. If you think the speciesism hits too close to what is happening today, it could be an outer colony populated with only Turing Tested droids, showing even when people are not around, murder still occurs. Crime solving techniques are still close to ours. Put it on a Space Station or inner-solar system colony.
Some of my favorite story themes are the magic and esp coexistent or esp emergent. Andre Norton’s Beast Master and 3 Ring Moon, Anne McCaffery’s Tower, Christopher Stasheff’s Warlock, Zena Henderson’s People, David Weber’s Hell’s Gate. I think that you have the necessary background to develop an engaging series that combines scifi, fantasy, and paranormal.
