I'm often asked what makes a story a paranormal romance. First, the focus is the romance. It must be central to the plot. It must also contain some sort of supernatural element.
So let's play a little game! Take your favorite movie and twist it so it becomes a paranormal romance.
Wizard of Oz - Dorothy falls in love with the scarecrow and returns to Oz to be with her true love.
The Big Lebowski - The Dude and his buddies take out the Nihilists who are really vampires. Maude is a goddess who makes the Dude her consort, and the magic rug ties the room together in more ways than one.
Clerks - Dante and Randal are zombies working at a convenience store. Dante is going through a rough patch with his zombie girlfriend, Veronica.
"She ate 37 brains!" Dante moans.
"In a row?" Randal inquires.
"In a row?" Randal inquires.
Go on. Give it a try!
