I do know it's been interesting figuring it all out. The London FP is one of THE big ones over here if I remember rightly, and have the rare luxury of shelf space!<br />But I think it's a reflection of the fun and games our publishing industry appears to be having as a whole here. The E-book has definitely changed the rules a bit...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16894909384837223.post-60076150792462410612012-04-03T18:42:44.712+10:002012-04-03T18:42:44.712+10:00Well I guess there's the Parasol Protectorate ...Well I guess there's the Parasol Protectorate series, right?

I visited the big Forbidden Planet in London and they had UF in with fantasy, but a separate shelf for paranormal romance... sometimes their choice of placement didn't make a whole lotta sense, but hey, they made an effort :)<br /><br />I see a lot of UF/paranormal books imported from the US, and UK editions of US-published books. But there's not a lot of locally published UF that I can see. Maybe it's more of an American trend?Erica Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450003467988908406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16894909384837223.post-61258314830577831362012-04-03T18:36:06.574+10:002012-04-03T18:36:06.574+10:00It was big fun!It was big fun!Erica Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450003467988908406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16894909384837223.post-58015503488440304292012-04-03T18:33:21.112+10:002012-04-03T18:33:21.112+10:00Indeed :) file that one away with all the rest...Indeed :) file that one away with all the rest...Erica Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450003467988908406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16894909384837223.post-50765933815951815902012-04-03T18:32:54.369+10:002012-04-03T18:32:54.369+10:00Love me some ghost tours... didn't get the cha...Love me some ghost tours... didn't get the chance this time.

So I think everything is either lumped under sci-fi/fantasy as a whole, or if you're lucky and go somewhere big like Waterstones, you can find an Urban Fantasy section, and perhaps even one for Dark Romance. Good luck beyond that though...<br />For the record, this flintlock-punk concept seems quite cool. I think I could do that quite well too... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16894909384837223.post-43370882966727655532012-04-03T08:02:02.821+10:002012-04-03T08:02:02.821+10:00Sounds like a great visit.Sounds like a great visit.Terry W.
