Contemporary thriller? Historical paranormal?

Those are the questions I have this week as I attempt to construct a new story. Trilogy really. Shorts, 25,000-30,000 words.The questions is...thriller or paranormal...contemporary or historical?

New ideas

I have a short story to polish this weekend, a day-job related conference next week, and my as-yet-named Book 4 of my Druids Series to finish and polish by April 15. But I have some new ideas for stories I can't wait to write!

The History Channel is good for new ideas, but the I tend to write historicals. Also the news. I read my news online, I can't stand to hear journalists speak, and prefer to skip what doesn't interest me. Sometimes a totally unrelated topic will spark a idea, but then my mind works in strange ways. Some might say twisted...

So here I am, under contract and deadline, struggling with the beginning of Book 4 (the middle and end work nicely...pft) and all these new nifty ideas floating around. I need more time in the day!
