Maria was reading about Urban Fantasy the other day and mentioned it to me as a book genre. I’ve read about Urban Fantasy before and thought about writing it, but what she said made me think again. She mentioned that Prophecy: Child of Light could be considered an Urban Fantasy Ebook in a way as, although it’s strictly a Paranormal Romance Ebook \/ Dark Fantasy, it does have magic and an urban location.<\/p>\n

What does Urban Fantasy mean? Well, Urban Fantasy Ebooks differ from Traditional Fantasy on one core plotline – its magic in an city\/urban environment, generally contemporary. Traditional Fantasy Ebooks are magic in a non-Earth environment – usually a world created by the author, or even an alternate dimension.<\/p>\n

Examples of Urban Fantasy are stories like Jim Butcher’s ‘Dresden Files’ series, which is set in Chicago.<\/p>\n

In a way, the Prophecy Trilogy are Urban Fantasy Ebooks, well, more like Dark Urban Fantasy \/ Paranormal Romance Ebooks. They have the locale, the magic, but also the darkness required by Dark Fantasy, and the vampire\/werewolf element required by Paranormal. Heavens, this is all getting confusing! lol.<\/p>\n

I’d always wanted to write an Urban Fantasy, and I guess I just have. Score one for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have other more Traditional Fantasy stories that I want to write, books about a different world to ours, one where magic is very open and accepted, and being a witch or wizard is being raised up in society to the level of royalty.<\/p>\n

If anyone has read Prophecy: Child of Light, and wants to comment about whether they think it matches Urban Fantasy, do let me know by commenting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
