My favorite genres Science Fiction and Romance, apparently too far apart to intermingle. ![]() From then, I fell in love with the Romance genre. Shanna was eye-opening to me, and I loved it. It wasn’t until college, when I thought I needed something different than the assigned literary canon, that I picked up a novel by Kathleen Woodiwiss. So I continued to turn to a King novel, a collection of Asimov shorts, or another re-read of Pride & Prejudice or Wuthering Heights.
