Polly Iyer began blogging with the Blood Red Pencil in 2013, which makes her one of the newest members of the group. She’s a cross-genre writer, switching from thrillers, suspense, mystery, a bit of romance and a touch of paranormal, sometimes all in the same book.
Polly's Latest Releases
Two unrelated cases keep Diana and Lucier busy. Their search for the missing mother of a street boy they've taken under their wing exposes the crime and corruption among some of the city's most upstanding citizens.
An eccentric socialite pressures Diana to rid her mansion of her twin sister's ghost in the second case. With no clues to go on, Diana and Lucier must first prove the missing sister is dead, and a ghost is helping her find the truth. Book 4 of the Diana Racine Psychic Suspense series.
When psychic Diana Racine’s old friend is murdered in New Orleans, her love, Lieutenant Ernie Lucier, brings her in to consult on the case. What Diana “sees” draws them both into a web of murders that stretches far into the past. The deeper they dig, the more it appears the deaths are the work of vigilantes on a moral crusade―vigilantes wearing the blue of the NOPD who won’t let anything or anyone stand in their way. Book 3 of the series.
Romance author Zoe Swan’s hot affair with an art history professor initiates a series of events she couldn’t have imagined. When he’s murdered, Zoe learns the professor is a well-known art thief, and not only is she accused of his murder, she’s charged with the theft of a famous painting stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Before long, she’s on the run from the FBI with her estranged husband and his jewel thief brother, intent on proving their innocence. Indiscretion is a Kindle Scout winner.

I kind of like mixed genres, assuming they make sense.
ReplyDeleteA story making sense applies to all genres. :-)
DeleteI admire folks like you who mix genres... A story is a story is a story. And if it's a good one, then who cares about whether it's in one bin or the other? (Maybe I am in the minority in that, but so be it.)
ReplyDeleteI really think most novels mix genres. Romantic Suspense is the only one that comes right out and claimed a separate genre. Now there are Humorous Mysteries, Romantic Comedies, etc. Most Horror genres have elements of the Thriller genre.
