One thing I like to say to authors is to look for under developed parts of the writing universe and stake a claim. Even consider combining different litterary generes to create a new one of your own. Here are some of what I mean:
Cop gets the killer, generally in modern litterature its a lawyer or a military lawyer or someone not professionally in law enforcement.
1) Paranormal romance - Great example is an old movie called Ghost staring Patrick Swayze.
2) How about a Humor Romance - An inspector Gaget type in an romance setting.
3) Write about something you know, since you are a writer yourself how about a writer that gets the killer or a writer in love.
4) Perhaps wrapping up several generes into one - Paranormal Humor Sci Fi thriller - that would be going after the terrorist in a future setting where the terrorist makes use of a future technology that allows use of paranormal powers with some humor thrown in here and there.
