That the impossible can become possible even in our jaded world. :) Good luck with the book, Mary!Juli D.

I saw through my protagonist's eyes, felt what she felt, etc. It worked for me.<br /><br />Susanne, definitely try a UF novel. At least, just to try and see if you like it.

Urban fantasy is a faster read, and there tends to be lots more action.

Billie Jean, you are right, it is more fast paced. Though I love PNR, sometimes I feel as if a story drags. I want action! LOL. I want more than just romance and PNR tends to focus on relationships. I'm seeing more use of the term "urban fantasy romance". Lines are definitely being crossed with these genres.<br /><br />Lyrical Press did the cover for The Awakening. Renee is great!<br /><br />Thanks for the comments!Mary Abshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581008152368973955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934913775261743747.post-31242055436366356602011-09-07T19:09:47.260-04:002011-09-07T19:09:47.260-04:00I think you've hit on most of the reasons I li...I think you've hit on most of the reasons I like this genre -- the fast paced action and speech -- I.E. come backs -- are great. I love the genre and often think there's not much of a difference between 'paranormal' and 'urban' but you've made some great points! <br /><br />hugs,<br /><br />Billi JeanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002616464181372208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934913775261743747.post-11498482469842449462011-09-07T15:02:34.231-04:002011-09-07T15:02:34.231-04:00I LOVE Urban Fantasy as well as Paranormal Romance...I LOVE Urban Fantasy as well as Paranormal Romance.
