Why are there no astronaut romances?
Thursday, 4 March 2010There are fireman romances…
There are policeman romances…
There are even NASCAR romances…
But run a search over at eHarlequin.com for “astronaut” and—nothing. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS COUNTRY???
Because maybe no writer alive can capture the passion of space love?
Duh.
@Bob: It seems like no writer alive is even trying.
The Fireman’s Christmas
The Officer’s Girl
The Astronaut’s Wife
If someone decides to cash in on the currently wide-open astronaut romance niche, I think all novels should involve the real-life elements of tumultuous astronaut love–kidnapping schemes, cross-country drives, and diapers
@hh: Oh! I had not even remembered that. But I totally agree. In fact, I would go so far as to say that all novels in general should involve diapers. All sexy novels, anyway.
