I hate pigeon-holing books into categories, but it seems to be a necessary evil. I like crime fiction as a genre better than mystery, thriller, etc. It's nice and general, and it doesn't restrict the writer. I had a lot of trouble categorizing my own books. Urban Fantasy is too often associated with Romance, which my books are not. I came up with Noir Urban Fantasy Detective Fiction, but I don't think I'd ever be able to sell that to an agent. Good thing I'm self-published!
