I am a new author. I have one novel that is currently available and a second that is being polished. They are a pair.
My novels are illustrated. It was an idea I came up with when I decided to shoot my own cover, since I am also a professional photographer.
It also went well with the era the books are set in (Victorian) as illustrated novels were popular at that time.
The currently available novel is The Rake and the Recluse.
I read primarily historical romance, but have read paranormal, western, contemporary, regency, gothic and steampunk (which fits in one of those there right?) At any rate, my favorite is historical. But one of my favorite romances is The Iron Duke (Meljean Brook). It made me ridiculously happy.
