Being an old-school comic book geek, I've always liked mixing up genres, so picking one I prefer is tough!

I think there are common elements across my stories that link them together, despite genre. And those are the things I gravitate towards -- isolation, outsiders, epiphanies. More than genre, it's things like tone, theme, and character that interest me most. I think of the story as a whole. The genre becomes a category that I slot into at some point, but...

Man! This is an awful answer, isn't it? Should be simple, but it's not. I guess the honest answer is that if there was a genre I preferred, I would write mostly in that area. But since I don't really zero in on a particular genre, I would have to say I don't prefer any particular one!
