What is the genre I write in?
Well with a name like B. Swangin Webster you may assume,
erotica. WRONG!
I write Contemporary Dramas. It can also be called Urban
Drama
Next question…oh, like street lit? WRONG!
Contemporary/Urban dramas are nothing like street lit.
There
are no drug dealers in my novels (well one time there was but he was just
passing through) and there are no women stripping for money or marrying a man
for money.
Street lit is hard core literature that has taken the
literary world by storm. Most street lit novels will have titles that include
the word, (pardon my language) Bitch and Nigga. Most likely they will have
covers with stacks of money on the cover or a scantily clad woman or man.
My novels have none of that. Yes, it may contain the word
Bitch but not in EVERY conversation.
Contemporary dramas are stories that can be lived right now.
They could be your neighbor’s drama and most of them are LIFETIME movies. You
know; the ones that have the stalker, the mistress or the missing child.
What I write is taken from today’s headlines and
fictionalized to put you in the middle of the situation and have you going
through all of your emotions.
If you don’t use at least 4 (or 5) emotions (well
some say there are 6 emotions; but that’s another blog) while reading my novel,
than I haven’t done my job.
So take a look at one of my novels and see what I write.
Don’t assume that you won’t read an urban or contemporary drama because most
movies that aren’t mystery, suspense or action are in fact contemporary dramas.
Give me a try and see if you enjoy it. Please feel free to
contact me after you do; I’d love to hear from you.
