Well, this is depressing. I love history and really can't do romance with a capital R. What I write is historical fantasy, I think. It reads more like historical, but it has fantasy elements.
Basically, I retell fairy tales in different eras. I put Hansel and Gretel in southern California in the Thirties, Snow White in gold country California during the Civil War, and Snow White and Rose Red in Bleeding Kansas during the 1850s. (The last two fairy tales have nothing in common but a similarity in their names.)
Should I give up on this sort of writing and try to figure out something else? It's all completely American, and usually Californian. I went with the write what you know and love stricture.
