My first read from you was The Passengers and now I am almost through with What Lies Between Us. I am loving it as I did The Passengers, but they seem completely different in topics/genres. The Passengers seems slightly more science fiction and What Lies Between Us has no scifi aspect to it so far (I am at 75%). How do you write across genres and maintain the excellence achieved with one genre? Thanks!
John Marrs
Hey Holly! I write for two labels. For Penguin, my books are psych thrillers with a sci-fi twist and for Thomas & Mercer, they're simply psych thrillers. What Lies is the latter and as you continue reading, you won't see anything sci fi about it. I'd like to think I can cross genres because all my books are character led, no matter if the book is set now or in an undetermined future date. Thanks for reading them!

Hey John! I read and LOVED The Passengers, so immediately picked up The One and read it in two days. Now I'm starting on The Minders and noticed that these three books are all in the same universe with references to the past storylines. What other books are in the "Marrsverse"?
