What is the genre of your novel?

There are many more genres in contemporary literature. Is your novel crossover, do you believe it has more than one genre?

Fantasy. But also young adult. But then also about choice and consequence :-) And there are adult relationships at play as well. So perhaps just general fantasy?

LOL it is difficult!

I thought my novel was science fiction because it is about time travel, but after being on this site and having my mind stretched a little, not too much or it might pop, I think it is more adventure and action, more adventure I think. I am with the general consensus that most stories cover more than one genre. But then who am I to comment, actually I find myself saying that most times now when I answer the phone. "Hello who am I" is the confusion something to do with writing? Regards ?????
