Funny, Patrick. I can see that first one to be a public nuisance. Attractive and intelligent are quite enough without aspiring to sainthood.
I'm willing to kill to get published...and did so, in my debut novel. The victim was intelligent, attractive and devoted to preserving the environment. I killed her anyway. Now I'm working on my second victim, a NASA scientist with a big heart and...
Well, more power to you. If they are indeed buying in that category, that would explain why my literary thriller was sent to romance editors until I threw a fit.
And you shouldn't change, BR! I can see myself writing all kinds of genres, the hardest part will be narrowing it down. Thankfully romantic suspense and suspense aren't too far from each other and I know lots of writers who cut their teeth on roma...
We all have to choose our paths (to whatever extent we can) to pursue in getting published. In that respect, you are far more flexible than I could be in changing genres. I see myself writing two types of fiction. That's it. I don't wish to change.
I'm not a romance writer, but after my agent's repeated suggestions, I wrote a romantic suspense. He says romance is selling well in the inspirational market and after my first mystery didn't sell, and I already had this romantic suspense book par...

What are you willing to do to get published?
I'm not a romance writer, but after my agent's repeated suggestions, I wrote a romantic suspense. He says romance is selling well in the inspirational market and after my first mystery didn't sell, and I already had this romantic suspense book partly written (for an anthology,) I finished it. Now all I can do is wait, and rewrite my original mystery with a romance angle.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
