Читать книгу Black Jewel - Bella Dama - Страница 4

While writing this book, I kept genre in mind. I wanted one that exposed Latino people, and their culture. It had to demonstrate their spice, flavor and sensuality. I also wanted a pleasurable book with feel-good reading. And it had to deal with current, real-life issues in today’s times.

In researching the available genres, there wasn’t a specific one I felt my book fit into. There were a combination of many. So, I came up with Latin Contemporary Fiction.

Latin Contemporary Fiction has the following criteria:

• The main character(s) must be of Hispanic/Latin descent

• Occurring in modern or present time

• The setting seems to be or is a real place

• Real life-like stories: events in the story that can occur in real life

• Story plot includes a love relationship between people and/or objects, account(s) of human sexual relationships creating arousal for the reader and conflict or drama creating a suspenseful storyline.

As a Hispanic woman, it was important to me to have a genre that fits my passion. I hope you enjoy.
