I wrote a hard sci-fi. When I sent it to my little circle - I kept being told it was very romantic and oh, la, la... sexy.
So I pitch it as a SF Romance now (which everyone is interested in - so yeah!), but I still always think of it as hard sci-fi, I almost feel like I'm perpetrating a fraud.
I keep wondering if SF readers will be more tolerant of the sex (yeah, romance, whatever...) or if Romance readers will be more tolerant of the science...
Would you ever *leave out* genre info, (in talking about a book) just because you think it will confuse the issue?
