Well, didja? Huh? Huh? Didja? Did you remember to Spring Forward to Daylight Saving Time last night? DST arrived in the wee hours this morning, and 2 a.m. became 3 a.m. Alexa changed her clock for me, and I got up when I was supposed to…the cats and wild birds were very happy, because they could not care less about DST. I, however, will be taking a nap this afternoon.
Sorry to
be the bearer of bad news, but we have to wait until the first Sunday in
November to gain back that lost hour. (Maybe that’s good news because there’s
hope.)

Paranormal Women's Fiction or PWF. It features powerful heroines kicking their midlife problems to hell with sass, magic, mystery, and adventure.
Think of movies like The Witches of Eastwick or Practical Magic, and you got it.
You can find the occasional PWF title on Kindle published as early as 2011. But about a year ago, some experienced authors from genres such as paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and cozy mystery decided to define a dedicated place (i.e., a genre) for PWF books and differentiate them from other genres.

“The evolution of
PWF underscores the continued rise in popularity of women's fiction. But not
only that. It proves what indie publishers can achieve in no time, thanks to
their innovation, agility, hard work, and persistence.
Could PWF be something for your
writing or inspire you to develop your own genre-defining ideas? Check out this new K-lytics research report!"
