The main challenge I've found when writing a Paranormal Romance
is trying not to be so cliché. I simply hate cliché plots, I also
hate it when people know what is going to happen, I want to keep
people guessing. This is supposed to be fiction I want it to be
creative and new. If that means killing someone off, cliffhangers, or
avoiding that happy little ending, maybe that’s what needs to be
done. I love a little air of mystery, what’s going on? What will
happen next? – that’s a big theme in my books the fear of the
unknown.
When writing, I didn’t want cliché characters either, that
typical 17-year-old virgin! That’s why I made Seraphina the way she
is, 25 years old, somewhat lost in life, craving more, and has had
her share of boyfriends, yet still looking for that special one.
She’s relatable—real. I love that she’s relatable to pretty
much all ages as well. I created her so that her age didn’t matter,
maybe she’s in work instead of school, but she’s still got that
one wacky friend and she still feels like she doesn’t quite belong.
She fits in and just sort of coasts by in life. Nothing special,
nothing extraordinary until one crazy accident suddenly flips her
world upside down.
Cliché love scenes… nah, not for me! I love a little twist,
Does love really conquer all? I guess only time will tell, but even
if it does—don’t expect it to be easy. I also have to admit I
have a little bit of a dark side. Don’t be surprised if Dark-Sera
shows her face.
In the end, Paranormal Romance is such a broad topic. It
encompasses so many things from Vampires, Werewolves, Fairies,
Warlocks, Angels and Demons. There are so many challenges when it
comes to writing but the main thing is to have fun with it. Explore
your imagination, dig deep and discover new original ideas and just
fly with them. The best part of writing paranormal is—it’s
fiction! No one can tell you what’s right or wrong!
