Maybe this will help:
I asked the wise and brilliant Chip MacGregor (www.chipmacgregor.com) what genre was the hottest right now…
” The fastest growing category in publishing right now is YA, but that’s only because of TWILIGHT. Aside from that, romance is definitely the strongest category.
Next fastest growing? Probably thrillers. What genre sold the most? In terms of numbers of books, it was romance.”
and the illustrious and also wise Steve Laube (www.stevelaube.com) said, “If I were to be held down and forced into an answer I would have to say “romance.” That category, while always evergreen, continues to be the staple of the fiction industry.”
(Thanks, guys, for your help!)
so, there you go…
Every voice counts!

What does one do when: The novel has a strong romance between (main) characters, is a roller-coaster suspense thriller… but is set in the “future”, with technological advances, space stations, lunar bases, a city on Mars….
and in the end, a six-week-long flood.
What genre would “Isles of Myst” fit into?
