Thank you, Lanae!<br /><br />I've written a nonfiction book called Publishing & Marketing Realities for the Emerging Author under Christine Rose, as well as YA fantasy under that name. <br /><br />O. M. Grey writes steampunk romance, but I can see that changing in the future. As Olivia, I also write a lot of nonfiction on relationships, mental illness, and domestic abuse. I really enjoy writing nonfiction, so we'll see about that.<br /><br />As far as other fiction genres, it looks like my next O. M. Grey novel will be more on the side of adventure than romance, but we'll see.<br /><br />What is your favorite genre?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-4144099727606688462012-11-27T19:22:58.420-06:002012-11-27T19:22:58.420-06:00I wanted a zombie novel without the zombies being ...I wanted a zombie novel without the zombies being of the undead variety.

I'm with you, Helen, I'd have to be the one hypnotized to believe something like that was real.<br /><br />Hypnotherapy is interesting, though. In my experience, it's just about relaxation and a feeling of safety. You're conscious the entire time. <br /><br />But to be totally "put under," if that's possible, would be very scary. That would take a lot of trust!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
