Revival of a Blog

As you can see, the last time anything was posted on this blog was in 2006!! I don't know if anyone even still comes here. The originator - our own dear Maili has disappeared from Blog land.

At the time I didn't even know how to upload pictures so I wasn't much of a contributor.
But things have changed in 2 years.

But I've thought about contacting the other contributors and seeing if we can revive this blog. I think this genre is making a comeback in a slightly different form. Rather than futuristic - the new name is Sci Fi Romance and there are some great books in this genres. I thought I'd start off and highlight one

Moonstruck by Susan Grant

PEACE IS FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

And Coalition starship admiral Brit Bandar is one tough woman. A mere intergalactic treaty could never get her to trust the Drakken Horde. There was too much bad blood between the Coalition and the Horde and, for intensely personal reasons, Brit wasn’t sure that she was through spilling it! But now a peaceful accord has made Finn Rorkken, a notorious Drakken rogue, second-in command on her starship – and through some grand cosmic irony – front and center in her thoughts…and her heart.

WARLEADER. PIRATE.

Either title sat easily on Finn’s battle-hardened shoulders. Though second-in-command to “Stone-Heart” Bandar? That would take some getting used to. Peace required as much sacrifice as war, so he’d comply even if his reaction to the gorgeous admiral fell decidedly outside protocol. But would he end up kissing or killing her if the galaxy’s tentative truce turned into all out war?

This is the first book in a series. The second book, The Warlord's Daughter is coming out in March, 2009

Here is what I had to say about Moonstruck. I gave it a 5 out of 5.

But don't just take my word for it. Jace and friends had this to say.

Chit Chat

I read quite a few futuristic romances this year, including:

Lord of the Storm - Justine Davis
The Skypirate - Justine Davis
Too Close to the Sun - Robin T. Popp
Banner's Bonus - Carole Ann Lee
Gabriel's Ghost - Linnea Sinclair
The Dare - Susan Kearney
Abiogenesis - Kaitlyn O'Connor

So far I'm still hunting for an excellent futuristic romance. :( Have you read any lately? If so, any recommendations?
