More on Alien Sex

I want to start this out with a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure.

This first picture of the couple kissing in the rain is one of my favorite images from Luis Royo, a world famous SF artist.
Very sexy, loving and evocative image in my opinion.

The second image is one of the actors from one of the Xena TV shows.

This is what I want when I read and write Erotic SF. I want real SF and hot, loving sex.
When I first wrote my SF, I got tons of rejections. Why? Well, some publishers told me I had too much SF technology in my books, that their "women" readers didn't like and/or understand technology in their stories. Well! Cut me a break! Us helpless "women" use computers every day in our work and at home. We're the ones who program the DVD players, operate the copiers and other machinery at work.

Other publishers rejected my books because I had too much of that "mushy" sex and loving for my "men" readers to accept. Duh! I have avid male fans too who rave about the way I've combined real SF with loving sexuality for my characters. SF is supposed to boldly go where no one has gone before, right? So, why are the mainstream SF publishers afraid to explore this area? My belief is they're afraid to explore this area because their demographics are fifty years out of date. They think SF readers are male "geeks" and that women don't read SF. Gee! When was the last them they went to one of the SF conventions. Women readers like me are all over the convention.

I want it all! Real SF, real space action adventure and real sex for my characters. After all, in between saving the world, the solar system, star systems, galaxy, and/or the universe, they do manage to fall in love, have sex lives and reproduce.

Thank you for reading my blog. And, REMEMBER, the drawing for an autographed copy of my Erotic SF book from Liquid Silver Books, The Huntress, is still open. Just send an email to my addy of selkiewife@verizon.net with the words Silver Expressions drawing in the Subject line.
