Hi Roxanne, thanks for having me on your
blog today.
Don't
judge a book by its genre.
One of the hardest things my mind has to
comes to terms with when writing is, 'What genre is the story?' I understand the purpose of labelling books
in genres and subgenres, but I also struggle with the idea of pigeonholing
stories. Especially when mislabelling my story may result in someone reading it
and being disappointed that it wasn't the type of story they are used to. Or
worse still, someone looking at the genre and dismissing it off-hand as not the
type of story they read.
'Cloaked in Fur' is classified in the
Romance genre, and subgenre is Paranormal Romance. But it could easily be
classified in the Fantasy genre, subgenre Urban Fantasy. Both classifications
easily fit the story, and when used in concert, are probably a better way to
label it. And there is probably a touch of other adventure, horror, drama and
other genres thrown into the mix. But hopefully it appeals to a variety of
readers, who are open minded about trying new stories, or whom simply love
werewolves.
Just don't ask me what genre of writer I
am, that's a whole other story.

Book Description:
As a moonwulf, Daciana never expected to fall in love with a human. Hell, she never imagined that she’d abandon her pack, endanger everyone around her, and break the worst rule possible. But she did.
A rogue werewolf is killing Daciana’s friends, and she sets on capturing the creature. She’ll do whatever it takes to stop the beast. The police and her boyfriend, Inspector Connell Lonescu, are starting to question her involvement in the murders, which is endangering the pack’s secret existence. But when the pack alpha kidnaps Connell, revealing the awful truth about the creature and its connection to the pack, Daciana must choose between saving the man she loves and saving her pack family from certain death.

Great to be on your blog... thanks for hosting me:)
Great post. The story should come first and then you see what genre it would need to go into - not something I always find as easy as it seems!
Excellent post. Sometimes genre can be frustrating. I'd definitely say you're speculative fiction which will cover all those aspects of your writing!
