I don't think the pigeon-holing bothers me - I'm proud to write fantasy. I just meant that it contains a lot of the aesthetics of other genres too. I pitched it as a fantasy - I think it helps, when you submit, to compare it to other kinds of fantasies on the shelf. (Hopefully comparing it to ones that are currently selling!) Everyone needs the categories because it helps sell books, at the end of the day. Hi Emma,

Thanks!

It looks right up my street and will soon be added to my birthday present list. I find your comment about which genre it's shelved into very interesting (and I agree - this pidgeon-holing thing really bothers me) - did the publisher decide that, or did you pitch it to them as fantasy? Or is it a bookstore decision? Congratulations on your book! It looks right up my street and will soon be added to my birthday present list.
