So great to hear from readers who love romance. :) <br /><br />Just to keep you updated, I posted my blurb description on my blog and out of the blue my agent called me. She said that she'd read my post and loved the story concept. She asked for the proposal. I sent her the first 20 pages that I had already written and am now just waiting. If I don't get a deal that I am happy with, then yes, I will self-pub the novella. I have one sci-fi anthology self-pubbed already and another one coming any day now. So, self-pubbing is totally a viable option. <br /><br />Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. It's been real fun. :) KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220838329764004807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-85683991213348123942013-03-18T18:44:23.593-04:002013-03-18T18:44:23.593-04:00Yep, excellent catch my lovely Amy!

In fact there ARE sci-fi romance novels out there now that are doing pretty good, I just read one. And even though it wasn't something I would have normally read I was happily surprised! I hope you don't give up on His Personal Courtesan, it sounds like a good description. <br />I agree with the above comment, maybe just self publish it?

Can't help it. I love Cole and Jett.<br />I love your story proposal for HIS PERSONAL COURTESAN. Then again, I'm a huge fan of scifi romance. I sometimes think that if publishers ran some random polling occasionally, they'd discover that readers want something different and exciting every once in a while. <br />Like you always tell me, keep going! You'll find a publisher who will jump on it. <br />My only suggestion - if you copied & pasted, that is - in the line, "she’s been desperately in love with when she was just a child." Change "when" to "since". xoxoAmy Valentinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725078863607000204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-4286368958876475792013-03-11T22:43:47.607-04:002013-03-11T22:43:47.607-04:00Sci-Fi Romance is never a first choice for me, but...Sci-Fi Romance is never a first choice for me, but I know others who love it.

I suppose that makes sense, but I believe if it is well done, your readers would give it a try even if it is something new to them. The blurb looks very different.

For whatever reason, anything SF doesn't usually interest me. It's weird because when I was a teenager, SF is all I read, but maybe I just burned out on it.
