I've fallen more for a man's mind, his intelligence and personality, far more often than physical looks... but, when I'm writing my erotic romances... hey, why not have it all?!!!

I...Wow...lots of fabulous info there, Pat! Thanks<br /><br />I love sci fi, but mostly for watching. Give me Star Wars and Star Trek lots of action and adventure, love and angst, but as for reading it and writing it, nope not so much. I'm clueless when it comes to light years and parsecs and all the other terminology so it's darn good I don't dabble in it. hehe<br />Serena Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959664736807639363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-64201421887438237952013-05-30T18:50:25.609-05:002013-05-30T18:50:25.609-05:00Yeah, never read the "Da Vinci Code."

Started to once, but I couldn't handle his style of writing. <br /><br />So, I have no idea if this true in his story, but 'red eyes' could have indicated a demon nature, or a demon working through him... which has nothing to do him being an albino. <br /><br />Yeah, Sergei is 'white tiger shifter' kewl. Love the big guy. ~smiles~ <br /><br />Yeah TOTAL RECALL... also based on a lot of truth, if you investigate what NASA doesn't want you to know. <br /><br />You know, how they claimed there was no water on Mars for decades! Which is scientifically stupid because any planet has to have some level of water, similar liquid, even if it's minimal. <br /><br />Anyhoo, oh finally they released in dribs and drabs that Mars has water... in fact, now it's been acknowledged there's lots of water on Mars underground. Hell, the 'high ups' KNEW that the whole time. <br /><br />Ya know, why would I care about hardcore, science-based sci fi when it's based on lies used to keep everyone ignorant? <br /> Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-43820299512635390922013-05-30T18:37:08.898-05:002013-05-30T18:37:08.898-05:00I vaguely recall that happening to Janelle Taylor ...I vaguely recall that happening to Janelle Taylor for that particular book. Actually, that kind of hardcore, *mainstream science is always right* attitude caused me to shy away from reading sci fi even more. Yeah, I hope she did get her dues back. <br /><br />I guess in the '80s they weren't all that hip to alternative timelines, either, as in Jupiter being populated [which according to some renegade scientist-types, it is]. Now other dimensions, other timelines is part of quantum physics.

Among other errors, his albino character had red eyes. Human albinos don't have red eyes. Frankly, I hadn't known that. It's one of the reasons I gave Sergei blue eyes. That, and a blue-eyed white tiger looks kewl.<br /><br />I remember seeing the movie "Total Recall" and thinking at the end, "Holy cow! It's a Barsoomian atmosphere factory! That handprint activator was designed for a Thark!"

I think she had every space opera cliché on display, including women from Jupiter (in the '80s!) and the hero's evil half-brother. And yet it was labeled "science fiction." Well, the SWFA membership pitched the mother of all hissy fits. How dare she sully the pristine name of SCIENCE FICTION with her sci-fi romance crap?

And it all changes too fast. <br /><br />This is especially true when you fuse genres. <br /><br />When I write sci fi erotic romances, I'm likely to get something wrong because I was never a hardcore sci fi reader. Although I do know light years is a measure of distance. <br /><br />Plus, history and science has been so bastardized/hidden from the public by the powers that be, that you can't rely on that so-called, school-taught truth. <br /><br />For example, there is a certain amount of 'proof' [ancient documents], which I've studied, that the stories Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote set on Mars was the actual ancient history of Mars. <br /><br />NASA has lied, is lying... that's been proven over and over and over again by experts/whistleblowers... lying about Mars, the Moon, and the other planets in the solar system. [Read DARK MISSION by Richard C Hoagland]<br /><br />Actually, a lot of the fiction stories written in those times were based on true history, all the history that's been covered up, and now laughed at as kooky... including the inner Earth [yeah, put a tin hat on me]. But I believe Admiral Byrd over the system's version. <br /><br />For example, there's tons of proof that giants lived, grave after grave has been found, artifacts, bones out the wazoo... the Smithsonian confiscates whatever they can get hold of... there's an area in the Grand Canyon that is closed off, where tunnels were found that contained proof of Egyptian and Chinese visitation/colonies. Obviously long before idiot Columbus arrived, who knew the Earth was round. Because only the peasant serfs were told to believe in a flat Earth. Better to keep them enslaved if they thought they'd fall off the edge of the Earth. <br /><br />Everything I wrote/included in HER MIDNIGHT STARDUST COWBOYS is based on hidden history/truth and the true tech that's out there. <br /><br />I only hope readers will suspend their belief system enough to enjoy the story. <br />Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.com
