While YA is OK with Hunger Games violence, steamy sex scenes are just too much. So, the title filled that niche. As the category has gotten a foothold, I think its expanded beyond just books that have scenes that are too sexy for YA but don't quite fit as Chick Lit. It's growing and developing, and because of that, I think we're seeing sone authors trying to put their book in the category in hopes they can help define the boundaries. <br /><br />I like the new adult category and hope it goes strong.

When I started writing, I was always told by agents/publishers/fellow writers that my characters were too old for YA but too young for Adult. I never fit anywhere, but I didn't want to change my characters. So, I'm very glad NA is now accepted. <br /><br />I write romance, but I don't write the hard core adult but my romance is still a little too steamy for readers under 16. I finally feel like I fit somewhere. LOL!! :) LynnRushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019358342291623619noreply@blogger.com
