Much like all other phenomenon, the field of literature and books has also experienced a revolution. At the time when the concept of books came into existence, the aim of the author was considered to be able to impart knowledge and express ideas that inspired the readers. Eventually, genres emerged and books became a source of entertainment. This has resulted in the field of literature, and more importantly, the work of authors and poets, becoming increasingly competitive. To encourage the evolution of books, authors and poets are being encouraged through the institutionalization of awards. An Award winning poet is considered an invaluable asset to the society and also to the field of literature. It is because of the efforts of an Award winning poet and various other writers that a host of genres have emerged.
For avid readers as well as for those who wish to read books other than those based on run-off-the-mill themes, a unique form of literature has emerged. These books, commonly known as Chick lit, emphasize on the various issues, pertaining to women, which are prevalent in our society. However, what makes them different from other books based on the same theme is the fact that a Chick lit maintains a humorous undertone throughout, at the same time, not undermining the gravity of the situation.
Another genre of books which is also a form of fictional writing is Women’s fiction. As the name suggest, it includes stories that bring to light women issues and describe the untold miseries that women were and still are subjected to, in different parts of the world. However, authors prevent Women’s fiction from becoming a mere narration of women sufferings by also focussing on their achievements and the way in which they continue to be an asset to the society. This genre of writing uses fictitious stories and characters to highlight women issues.
Many literary historians consider the emergence of Romantic suspense as a literary revolution in it. It is a genre of writing that amalgamates the features of romance and suspense, and creates a single composition with those features. Romantic suspense ensures that the thrill of the story is laced with frequent romantic moments.
The quality of a book based on the theme of romance amalgamated with suspense depends on how deeply the element of suspense is able to thrill the reader and the element of romance able to move the reader. This depends in its entirety on the skill of a Romantic suspense author. A Romantic suspense author must be able to blend together the suspense and the romance. Furthermore, the words that the author selects to create the thrill and the romance, also reflects the adeptness of the author.
Today, Romantic suspense books have reached their threshold and they are becoming increasingly popular with people belonging to various age groups. One of the critical reasons for their success is the excitement that they create within the reader. Moreover, Romantic suspense books promise the reader a story with twists and turns that makes them unpredictable.
