Becareful Changing Genres

My latest and first contemporary was fun to write, but I don't think changing genres has helped my career. Even with a PW review, which wasn't bad, but wasn't great, and 6 other books, sales haven't been what they should. A $26.00 romance is hard to push. Also my readers like historical romance and want more of them. It seems, so does my editor, but with shaky sales on one book, editors aren't as likely to jump into another. I guess that's the "out of the pan into the fire" theory. And, you can't blame them. Nevertheless, we as authors never give up and will set aside one story to write another. I know I have, and you can bet your bippy, it'll be a historical. LOL
