Paranormal romance is a genre that blends romance with fantastic elements - vampires, fairies, psychics, ghosts, anything in that category. (Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer.) It never really goes out of style.
That means your touching love story between a time-traveling intergalactic pirate and a kleptomaniac housewife can find representation.
There are a number of good solid agents looking to represent paranormal romance. Make sure you read the agency website and the agent's bio before submitting. Submission requirements frequently change, and agents may close their lists or switch agencies.
Note: Do not submit to more than one agent at the same agency simultaneously. (If one rejects you, you can try another, unless the agency shares. Be on the lookout for "a no from one is a no from all.") Bear in mind that agents can close (or open) to queries at any time.
