Today I'm very excited to welcome my friend, the fabulous Jane Hunt. Jane's latest release, The Dangerous Gift came out a couple of weeks ago, and is very different from her previous books. Today she's telling us what it's like to write in different genres.
Welcome Jane, and over to you...

Writing in Different Genres
Last month my third book, The Dangerous Gift was released by Limitless Publishing. This was a first for me in many respects. It is my first book with my new publishers and my first novel in the romantic suspense genre.
Like all my books, 'The Dangerous Gift' doesn't fit neatly into the genre. True, there's a mystery or two and even some nail biting thrills, which overlay the strong romantic thread interwoven into the plot, with lots of suspenseful moments, the difference? It's set in Texas and features a rancher/cowboy, so is a western romance too.

'The Dangerous Gift' is different from my first two books in 'The Dragon Legacy Series, which are paranormal/ fantasy romance mysteries. The romance and mystery elements are key to all three books. They are also found in my current work in progress, Past Shadows. Although historical it's also a mystery romance and even has a ghostly presence.
I enjoy writing multi-genre books but they are harder to sell. Still I think it's important to like what you write. Hopefully that's reflected in my stories.
Here's what my current release The Dangerous Gift's about:
After a tragic plane crash kills Jennie Taylor’s guardians, she returns to her childhood home—and her first love, Jared Stewart.
At just eighteen years old, Jennie had left the Unicorn Ranch in Texas to seek a life in the outside world. But she wasn’t just running toward independence. Heartbroken and confused, Jennie fled her home after Jared harshly rejected her on the eve of her birthday.
Now she must choose between making a new life on the ranch she has grown to love, or returning to her simple but empty life in England. The choice seems obvious at first, but nothing in life is simple…
Jared is forced to share control of his beloved ranch with the woman he wants but can't have.
When Jennie receives an anonymous note, she goes to Jared for support. But what she finds is more than she was prepared for, driving the two further apart than ever. When an old friend is murdered and suspicious accidents escalate, endangering Jennie’s safety, Jared becomes her reluctant protector.
Jennie knows Jared is hiding something, but does he really want her gone from the ranch? And if so, could he be the one behind the ominous threats?
Determined to prove Jared isn't involved, Jennie turns detective. Can she succeed in her courageous but reckless investigation…or is the truth a dangerous gift she won’t survive?
