Writing sf/f is a fantastic way to come at modern issues from a different perspective - including all of those issues surrounding a couple falling in love. Meljean Brook, The Kraken King (Iron Seas book 4). A good SFR novel contains all the elements I enjoy - a dire situation in an intergalactic location where anything can and does happen, a mix of military and civilians working together (or in opposition), a growing attraction between the hero and heroine as they race against time to solve the problem, escape the dangers, save the day! And of course the Happily Ever After ending. I'm going to start with my own answer, because I'm thrilled that Mission to Mahjundar (A Sectors SF Romance) received an award. I asked each of the winning authors (listed with their winning books): What do you find so appealing about writing science-fiction romance? The basic philosophy behind this approach is to help connect readers with books. The theme of the SFR Galaxy Awards is inclusiveness, recognizing multiple science-fiction romance books and/or the standout elements they contain. Green of Spacefreighters Lounge and Heather Massey of The Galaxy Express, this event honors a variety of standout stories. I'm devoting this column to the winners of this year's SFR Galaxy Awards.
