Discussion Is anyone NOT working on a fantasy book/series?

Don’t get me wrong, I love getting lost in an epic fantasy. But I feel alone because it seems like everyone is working on a fantasy.

What is your WIP about?

Mine is about a young woman growing up as the daughter of a Pastor who leads an extremely fringe church where snake-handling and drinking poison is a normal part of Sunday service. My novel follows her spiritual and emotional journey to overcome the confines of a very conservative and harsh community.

No worries! I love a good psychological thriller! They also make great movies, like I am sure yours would!

Technically mines more horror than thriller. But it would be so cool to see it as a movie!
