Bad Religion by Kathleen Scott

Futuristic Space Sex

Now that I have everyone’s attention we can proceed with the rest of the blog. I’ll admit when Ella first asked me to guest blog, I panicked. You see, though I’ve studied critical literary analysis and dissected books through the various lenses, I tend to think in terms of emotions when I talk of plots, […]

Science Fiction Romance

Let me start where it all began. In my dad’s book collection. Like any good dad, he made sure to build my Nancy Drew collection and when the time came, Jane Austen and the Brontes, but he also gave me hard cover Stephen Kings for birthdays and Christmases when I got to my teens. But […]

Hi-Octane for Breakfast: The SFR of Nathalie Gray

When you hear the words ‘Science Fiction Romance’, what type of scene automatically springs to mind? Is it two lovers floating in zero-g, with or without sparkly bedclothes, for a well-earned HEA? Is it a pair of doomed friends-turned-lovers aiming their cripped flier into the munitions hold of an enemy base ship? Is it a […]

Paranormal – Sci-fi Romance FREE Read

I read somewhere the other day that the first science fiction story is considered to be Lucian’s (a Syrian author of the 2nd century), True History. Apparently it’s filled with travels to space, aliens and interplanetary warfare! I am feeling super motivated to track it down and see what it’s all about! My son’s name […]

Galactic Holiday

Adventures in 2013 – Anna Hackett

2012 was a great year for me. I saw the release of my very first sci-fi romance, WINTER FUSION and it was also part of the Carina Press anthology, A GALACTIC HOLIDAY. I released my first self-published book, TIME THIEF in my Anomaly Trilogy (paranormal romance with a touch of X-Men) and its sequel, MIND […]

Genre mashup: Steampunk and Space Opera??

I love genre mashups. Like putting Romance in Science Fiction (Plenty of those at Carina). A modern city in elf fantasy–kind of a blend of UF and high fantasy (Tinker by Wen Spencer). Vampires in space. Chocolate in my peanut butter. So when I started writing a space pirate story, somehow I ended up smooshing […]

Near Future Romances

In part due to a post at The Galaxy Express (Could Science Fiction Romance Become a Fearless Leader) and the discussion in the comments, I’ve been giving some thoughts to the Near Future Romance. Because I think that if we look, there are several successful series out there that fall into the Science Fiction Romance […]

A Little Off Topic

Okay, I know this is a sci-fi log, but I am so happy with a short paranormal erotic novella I intend to self publish on June 1st that I can’t help but put a little something on there to tell you all about it. First, don’t you love this cover?  Like I said last time, […]

The first Science Fiction Romance movie?

I took my kids to see the movie Hugo and was fascinated by so much of the movie, but one of the elements that stood out, was insight into the 1902 film Le Voyage dans La Lune (A Trip to the Moon), written and directed by Georges Méliès. A silent film with cutting edge effects […]
