Shifters
or Wings?
I’ve been asking myself
this question often recently. I just released my first book in a new series
called Dust of My Wings. Yep, Wings. Meaning I’m writing about angels this
time. Though my first series was all about shifters. It’s odd to change it up
and see what you can do as an author. Dust of My Wings is the first book in the
Dante’s Circle series where I’m not just taking on angels, but dragons,
shifters, Fae and more.
But what do readers
want?
That I’m not sure. I
think there is a HUGE basis for shifters and wolves right now. Personally, I’m
in love with them. Hence why I write them. I think sometimes it’s tougher to
show off a new type of paranormal creature to readers. Some of them LOVE it,
some are hesitant.
When you write
contemporary, the storylines aren’t based on species so there is a whole new
idea of what is good for readers or not. But with paranormal, we have to add on
to the normal what-ifs with species, powers, and new worlds.
What do readers want?
Well that’s the age old question, isn’t it? So far, I think that angels and
other paranormals are a little harder to sell right away, but they’re coming. I
love reading about all paranormal, and I hope other readers are too.

In theory...if the story's good "they" will buy. Sometimes this is true and sometimes you just can't sell the story for anything. I say write what your heart tells you to write.
I agree with Anny. Write what you love, good selling genre or bad, someone also loves it.
I find books on angels fascinating.
