Alissa Davis:
* I’m still seeking foodie romance. (Sherry Thomas’s Delicious is an excellent example of romance centered around food. It’s a historical, but I have no time period preferences.)
* It’d be great to get more fantasy romance, and I’d love to see some m/m fantasy romance.
* I also want more BD/SM, er0tica and er0tic romance.
* I recently edited a steampunk erotic fantasy romance called Journeyman’s Ride by Marie Harte and fell in love with the juxtaposition of Norse mythology and steampunk technology. If you have a book with a whole bunch of sub-genres successfully integrated into one story, please send it my way.
