valarltdI'm not psychic. I am, however, mildly precognitive in a very weird way.
I write about 2 years ahead of the curve.
Mer-folk are the cutting edge of paranormal romance right now.
I wrote mer-men in 2011.
Steampunk, with zombies in, got hot around 2009.
I was writing it in 2007.
My Robin Hood novel came out in 2009.
Russel Crowe took up the bow in 2010.
I don't get it.
Why do I write something, it flops and then 2 years later everyone else has the same idea?
Great. Look for a bunch of post-apoc biker novels in 2015.
