Romantic Science Fiction

Read any good love stories lately? Buzzing about the blogosphere are comments about science fiction romances. Many have been published over the years, but the movement to identify books of the subgenre is afoot. There is even mention of an Amazon tag party. Part of the excitement is the possibility of ebooks expanding the library.

Amazon books tagged as science fiction romance by romance fans
And not all of the books are out-of-this-world bodice-rippers! I added my favorites to the list: the Liaden Universe books by the team of Sharon Lee and Steve Miller--a dozen in the series and still growing; and the Esmay Suiza and Vatta's War books by Elizabeth Moon top the list. There are others. I have added these to the Dirt Poor Book Shop: Obscure Gems, with a list to many others. Here are a few samples. Enjoy!

A blog on Amazon is well worth viewing, and here is a forum on the topic.

The Dirt Poor Book Shop has a New Look!

A new look and new products is how the Dirt Poor Book Shop is welcoming the new year. Come on over and take a look.

Admittedly, some pages aren't up and there are some old pages that need fixing still, but soon the site will be updated. It is a page-by-page process by a solitary webmaster; but hey, shop anyway!

Leave a message for Valerie, your webmaster/store clerk/owner/me, about your favorite book, art, recipe, etc.

Be sure to join our Dirt Poor Book group at Memes Say It All, Valerie's Ning network. Leave a message for Valerie (aka multifacetval or some such), your webmaster/store clerk/owner/me, about your favorite book, art, recipe, etc. Yes, discussions on memes are welcome!

In fact, I am writing about memes here as well as in other blogs.
