I think it might be on my end. The PC's been acting weird. Ahhhh…lol so if I don’t go pulling a chick-lit out of my hat, I should be okay?

Obviously it's not good to jump all over like crazy, but you've built an audience with epublishing, so you have readers already used to your style of writing. I think you're in good shape because you do deliver the same 'experience'--not necessarily the same genre, but the same experience. That's what readers count on.

ARGH Grumble. Anyway, Jordan there was a time when reading the consistency/not all over the place line would have had me panicking. I write all over the place. I always have. I don't want to change that or box myself in. Yeah, I've worried about it, to the point that I finally caved and talked it over with my editor and agent. As long I don't abandon one series to gallivant all over the romance-genre land, they are fine with my doing a paranormal for this book, a hunter for the next, a contemp for the next and then back to the paranormal... I might be misunderstanding it here, but I just wanted to put that out there. daggone, where did my comment go!
