What genre would you say your novels fall
into, or do they defy classification?
My novels
fall into a sub-genre of psychological thrillers called domestic noir. Domestic
noir novels usually centre around the family and are quite dark in nature.
There is usually a thriller element as well as suspense and various plot
twists.

My tagline is: Dark contemporary

of what I write while still giving the reader a good idea of what to expect.
The dark, contemporary, and paranormal emphasis varies from book to book.
