There should also be a very specific set of circumstances necessary for the time travel to occur. My April book has a hero with a mission you won't believe. Hotter is my Dirty Harry Meets Scarlett O'Hara story, and I believe it's my best book to date. Because of the hero's mission, its importance to the story, and to the romance. I think the time travel craze has waned somewhat, though time travel historical has become a genre of its own in today's romance market.
Readers are voracious, and they beg authors to keep writing time travels.
As long as there are publishers out there to buy them, I fully intend to keep writing them. As a reader and as an author, I find visiting history from a contemporary point of view the most satisfying of all romance novels. In anticipation of readers' questions, we asked Deb a couple of additional questions. I find my time travels lean more toward fantasy, rather than science fiction. Fantasy is considered the implausible or impossible by most.
