Collide

Stepping into the realm of the paranormal has been consuming for me, and I love it. I have always been a fan of the genre, and when I was encouraged by my 11 year old daughter to, " just go for it, mommy,"  I decided I would.  Why not? 
The book is finished...or is it? It is already over 350 pages, and has been groomed for several sequels.  Because, of course, I already have more adventures for the characters of this book festering in my ever crazy mind!  Right now the ending is so blunt, so unresolved that I am toying with the idea of making the novel a couple hundred pages longer...or do I just make it into another book?  Every one loves a cliff hanger...right?   I don't.  I am so confused.  Regardless of what I decide to do, I have already been playing around with the cover page. What do you think?  Is it intriguing?  I know that I have to come up with a good synopsis to really pull a reader in.  A rebellious young woman who is confused, who continuously fights her animalistic urges, who was born from a world that is right in front of her, yet she never knew existed...
 
  Of course, I will smooth out her eyelashes, and there are several more things I want to do to it.   But, all in all, I am really loving the direction in which the cover is going.   Now I am torn between historical fiction and paranormal.  I will never pick, for they are like my completely opposite children whom I love and adore equally.
