    That looks like Western Genre, but I supose that it can be Millitary fiction if it's really what people call it.

    What I feel like writing. It can be horror it can be high fantasy, urban fantasy, mystery, thriller, science fiction and everything inbetween.

    As long as I like the concept of the story I am going to follow it where ever it takes me.


    Though I do prefer high fantasy. Something about completely recreating a world is just appealing.

    Epic fantasy, urban/contemporary fantasy, a bit of science fiction, some Westerns, mystery, fiction, and some creative nonfiction (memoirs and literary journalism). I will probably dive into historical fiction, too, in the coming years.

    My short stories would be called contemporary fiction and humor. I'm working on my first whodunnit aimed at young adult readers. Mystery writing is challenging!

    Ninety-percent of the time, my stories have a comical element to them. Most of those can either fall into fantasy, or sci-fi-lite.

    The other ten percent tend to splatter all over the map.

    Definitionally, I'm not a genre oriented writer but more consider myself a 'mainstream' writer. That is to say that I am not looking to write my current work with genre in mind since it doesn't fall neatly (or at all) in to a genre subset.

    That said, the next/future thing I've been mulling might best be categorized as mystery.
