 Why I Love to Write Paranormal Fiction

I have been writing novels for years now, and I love writing historical fiction. That’s the genre I’ve been most associated with, and I wasn’t looking to change until I had the idea for my vampire novels in the Loving Husband Series. While Book One in the series, Her Dear & Loving Husband, has historical elements from the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, it was my first venture into paranormal fiction. I’m glad I took the plunge into this rich, imaginative genre.


Before, all my stories, while fictional, were entirely realistic. The characters could really exist, and the facts about the historical times they lived in were painstakingly researched. While I always relied on my imagination to write my novels, my previous stories were limited by the physical realities of our world. When I began writing paranormal fiction, I discovered a whole new freedom that allowed me to write whatever my imagination could conjure. Even if it’s not possible in our real world, it’s possible in this paranormal world my characters and I created. As most fiction writers will tell you, at a certain point in the writing process the characters take over and tell their own stories their own way. When that happens I find it’s best if I just sit back and take dictation. And when I let my paranormal characters do the talking, there are no limits to where the story can go. Fantasy, flights of fancy— that’s what I was missing in my earlier books.


By writing a romantic paranormal fantasy I was able to write about a vampire who has been alive for 349 years, and he has seen American history from its beginnings in the Massachusetts Bay Colony through the Revolutionary War, to the Trail of Tears, through World War II, World War II, right up through our present day. I was able to write about witches who can shatter glass at the snap of their fingers or light a roomful of candles with the wave of a hand. Ghosts can reappear from the past to reunite with loved ones. And a werewolf can cross party lines to adopt a vampire son. I let my imagination soar even higher as I wrote the next two books in the series, Her Loving Husband’s Curse and Her Loving Husband’s Return. I was able to explore this supernatural world in more depth, and I loved the process.


I had been closed off to the paranormal genre before. I thought to write something meaningful it had to be real—as in it could really happen. But now I realize that imagination can be powerful. Even as an adult, it’s good to explore the realm of what’s possible and enjoy some fantasy every once in a while. It’s fun to play those childhood games of “What if?” again. That’s why I love writing paranormal fiction.
