Good morning, Katylin! Hope you’ve been having a good week.

I set my story in the fictional town of Pineville, near the foothills of the mountains. I was originally thinking of calling the book Kate’s Journey, but there’s another book with the same title. The books aren’t anything alike, though. I suppose it doesn’t matter that…[Read more]

You could try just Kate’s Journey, I personally find it slightly cliche when a romance title always includes love in the title, but that’s just me…lol…

Thank you so much, this was super helpful! I hadn’t really ever heard of the genre of ‘spy fiction’. You’re right, I have no point of divergence from real world events because even though this is an obscure part of the real world in my brain, that’s never really presented in the story.

First and foremost, spy fiction is a genre. You should look into that.

The rest of your description doesn’t sound like historical fiction to me. HisFic needs to interact with the real world in some way. If the only possible way a reader could tell the story took place in an alternate version…[Read more]

This is what we call “threading the eye of the needle.” I think this is a historical fiction as long as there is a trigger event were history changed.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I do read a lot of books written in the 1800s and early 1900s, and that’s kind of become my style. ๐Ÿ™‚ I don’t know if it’s annoying to most modern day readers, but I was hoping since the book was set in that historical era, that people’d be okay with it.
