Sci-Fi Interracial stories....

Octavia Butler created such awesome alternative realities while pointing out our Societies shortcomings in her novels. Not only being an African-American woman in a genre that was dominated by men, but she won awards for her creativity. She was taken far too early, but left behind such great works.

It's been awhile since I've read a good Sci-Fi story that has an I/R couple in it. I've created many characters in my Romance fiction, even delved into the Paranormal aspect with my alter ego. Sci-Fi Romantic fiction is a balance for those who like both genres. Personally, I want to be the type of writer that can write a host of genres within a genre. Giving readers the opportunity to have their cake and eat it too. So, I've been working on a Sci-Fi I/R for a couple of years now and frankly, I'm excited to complete it. Although it may be a longer novel than I had intended, in the end, I'm hoping that my diversity as a writer comes through so that I'm not missing anyone.
