Out of This World Romance – What’s the Appeal?
Hello to all you readers who love to romance the genres.
When Sarah and Judith asked me to post, I got to thinking… just what is the
appeal of Out of This World (Sci Fi) Romance?
Sci Fi has been around for a very long time, since tech came
far enough to create robots and flying machines. Being human, our imaginations
were not far behind.
What would happen if… those robots could think for
themselves? Those flying machines could take us out into space? Where we would
of course meet other fascinating and dangerous sentient beings… and there our
adventures would begin.
According to Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction ,‘E.
E. "Doc" Smith's Skylark
of Space, written in collaboration with Lee Hawkins Garby,
appeared in Amazing Stories in 1928. It
is often called the first great space opera.’ Then came Buck Rogers, etc.
Plenty of fictional fun to be had.
I read sci fi as a kid—in the form of comic books. Those
were a nickel a piece at the local store, and oh, wow! Superman and all his
enemies and allies introduced us kids of the ‘60’s to a whole new universe.
Then came the televised Star Trek, followed years later by
the movie Star Wars…and from there the genre really took off, so to speak.
I’ll tell you a secret about sci fi and space opera…they’re
really just ‘out-of-this-world’ westerns. With robots instead of colorful
sidekicks, space ships instead of horses, and laser weapons instead of
six-shooters. And heroines who get to wear fitted space suits instead of those
silly bustles.
And sci fi romance…even more fun! The hero always gets the
girl…and vice versa.
Sometimes even on the page.
Join me in a space opera romp, won’t you? My books are all
available now FREE in Kindle Unlimited.

Bio: CJ Cade is a native of Montana, so look for the flavor of
the cowboy culture in her Sci Fi Romance/Space Opera. Her alpha heroes &
feisty heroines may pilot space ships instead of horses, but they find plenty
of wild adventure & sexy romance, so deep space never stays cold for long!
CJ also writes Contemporary & Contemporary Paranormal romance as

Cathryn, thanks for being our guest at Romancing The Genres. I've not really thought of SciFi Romance and Space Opera as having a cowboy culture. I can see why readers love your books!
Drawing unapologetic parallels between space operas and westerns made the cult hit tv series Firefly a legend! Firefly fans must love your books!!!
