When I published the first book in the trilogy Girl in the Glass I was told by several people that I was writing magic realism. As a result I started researching magic realism and so ended up starting my magic realism challenge and this blog.

Love of Shadows
"I had always felt most alive,
when I was healing. Without healing I was a tin top spinning out of
kilter soon to catch the ground. It took all my energy to hold myself
from skidding into chaos."
But in the city of Pharsis traditional
women healers are banned from practising and the penalty for breaking
the law is death by hanging. After being arrested and interrogated
twice Judith is careful to avoid suspicion, but then scarlet fever
breaks over the city like a poisonous wave, leaving in its wake the
small corpses of children. What will the young healer do?

Yes! I had the same feedback about magic realism. My book is realistic fiction except there are flying horses. No one does any magic. Some people are irritated that there is no explanation given for the horses' ability to fly, but most love it.
