Sometimes you just gotta go with your strengths. If you have sufficient knowledge to tackle a real-life subject then go for it.
I'm facing a similar problem. My last book was an urban fantasy but the real-world subjects I would like to write about require more knowledge than I can easily gather. I'll compromise by moving it off planet. (Keep an eye out for about the same time Hilary Clinton gets the keys to the White House.)
But whichever way you go it's a phenomenal effort to have completed two novels by the age of 16. Congratulations. You should be pleased.
