5/23/2023 0 Comments Warrior Wench by Marie AndreasI can’t read weak or simpering heroines, even in a historical romance. MARIE: I think they have to be able to stand on their own. SGLSF: What do you feel makes an engaging hero/heroine? I was totally hooked! I think one of my favorites is The Accidental Goddess by Linnea- I love humor mixed in with the romance, adventure, and mayhem! I wasn’t reading a lot of SF at the time since for me it all felt too much like hard SF…but the book was free. I still recall my first SFR, I was at Comic Con International, San Diego, and an editor at the Del Rey booth talked to me for a few moments, then handed a Linnea Sinclair book to me. But when you have action, thrills, a world or two to save, AND romance-I’m hooked. MARIE: I really enjoy romance when it has a great story attached-romance for romance sake doesn’t work for me. SGLSF: What attracts you to the romance genre, particularly SF/futuristic romance? But I read so much-even as a kid-it’s hard to say what all influenced me. Piers Anthony, Alan Dean Foster, Anne McCaffery, Mercedes Lackey, and David Eddings were probably some of the biggest influences. MARIE: The first books I recall reading on my own were Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and just about any horse book written. SGLSF: What books had an influence on you growing up?
