SciFi will soar when the publishers UNLEASH IT! Invest in it! I'm hip-deep in the middle of SciFi fandom, and SciFi Romance is a silent sleeping want of the SciFi world. Trust me when I tell you a lot of GUYS are willing to read SciFi Romance! And more women than ever are getting into science careers and entering the SciFi world. Slightly less than half of all members of the Starfleet International Fan Club are WOMEN! That's a big audience.
There is MORE FANTASY being done in Hollywood than ever before. 19 of the Top 20 Grossing Movies of All Time are FANTASIES. There are at least 15 more movies about superheroes alone in the pipeline in Hollywood. Fantasy and SciFi are half-sisters, and SciFi is rising as well. The WANT of it is soaring!
But the SciFi fans are hungrier than the entertainment industry is feeding them. Hollywood is sprinting to catch up. Tragically, the Romance industry has not yet awakened to the huge untapped starving market! And it's not going to be a passing trend, either! Star Trek has just celebrated their 40th Anniversary of being THE most successful SciFi TV show of all time. Battlestar Galactica has just been reinvented into the biggest hit the SciFi Channel has. No one is SO misinformed to call Star Trek a trend. Trends don't last 40+ years. As we speak, new Star Trek movies are being penned by JJAbrams, the director of Mission Impossible 3. They're on their way.
Dear SciFi Agents and Publishers!
The tidal wave of SciFi popularity is in your hands! Ride the surfboard, don't be washed away from the shore!
Increase the number of SciFi Romance books published and tell the world they can be found, awaiting the SciFi fans who starve for them! Market to SciFi fans directly! Fan magazines, conventions! Market to the general public!
Tap this permanent market awaiting your notice! This world is becoming more scientific every day. SciFi Romance will be here to stay if you help it be born!
Being hip-deep in SciFi fandom and seeing it for myself, I can promise the industry great success! Add up the attendance of conventions, memberships in SciFi Fan Clubs all over the world. Add up the viewership of the SciFi Channel and the popularity of the already well-established genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy.
That's big sales, my friends! And rabid fans. I never knew more die-hard, rabid, spent-every-spare-buck-on-it fans in my life!
Let's go get them! Who's with me!?!

Dear SciFi Agents and Publishers ... READ ME !
I've belonged to Star Trek Social Clubs for three years now. When a female member learns I write SciFi Romance, they FREAK! They are SO READY for SciFi Romance! They want to hear about my stories, they hop on my website and read samples. I'm often asked for famous names they can rush to the bookstore and read. They are so hungry ...
