There is that word "Paranormal" again. So, Megan Harmon is the author of The Dark Ones which, based on the Web site and trailer seems to me to be similar in concept to Twilight (which Stephanie Meyer has given up writing).
I'm not saying that Megan Harmon is trying to rip off Stephanie Meyer. Rather, her book seems directed at Romance readers who like stories of werewolves and vampires. I'm not well-versed in Romance fiction at all, which has been portrayed as formulaic. I'd be more inclined to describe it as nichey. Every sub-genre has a niche audience and there are occasional breakout titles that garner a lot of interest.
Romance and science fiction or fantasy have blended together many times through the years. I don't think they will ever quite fully part ways. Some Romance novelists do "pure" straight science fiction and fantasy -- or perhaps I should say some SciFi/Fantasy authors have written Romance.
Many good Romance writers also publish in other genres, including Westerns, Thrillers, Mysteries, etc.

Trailer for "Probed"
"Probed" is a new science fiction Webisode Series (can't we come up with a better name than that?) that looks pretty interesting. The production values for the trailer, at any rate, are first rate.
You can check out the official site, Probed: Signals and also watch the trailer below.
"Probed" stars Kevin Hermann and Leslie Wall as two students who investigate the paranormal (apparently the spacier side of the paranormal).
Why do they call it "paranormal" anyway? If all this so-called paranormal stuff is real, it's really normal, right? "Paranormal" and "supernatural" are really non sequitur words.
There is also a Probed: Signals YouTube Channel.
