21. All About Romance Novels - A Quickie With Catherine Asaro On Feminism & Romance Many readers responded, but today, SF author catherine asaro, who includes a very strong romantic component in her writing, responded to the same question. http://www.likesbooks.com/quick16.html

December 1997) Last month, feminist scholar Kay Mussell responded to the question: ? Many readers responded, but today, SF author Catherine Asaro, who includes a very strong romantic component in her writing, responded to the same question. Support our sponsors As an author who writes romantic space adventure, a physicist with a PhD in atomic and molecular theory, a former ballet dancer, a wife, and a mother. I have never had the least doubt that romance is feminist. It is the only genre I know of where: What the heroine values is given priority. It is, in fact, the driving force of the story. She is rewarded for what she values by achieving her goals, as well as winning the hero, who is usually a hunk, among other things ("I do too appreciate your mind," she insisted. "Really. I do. I appreciate all of you."<g> ). Which comes to . . . Romance acknowledges the "female gaze." We hear a lot about the male gaze in literature. An author may extol the aesthetic value of the heroine to such length that female readers are tempted to say, "all right, already. Get on with the story." Romance is the only genre I know where it is perfectly fine to extol male beauty. For a long time there was a "truism" that women didn't notice men that way. Well, hogwash. Acknowleding that quality doesn't mean women will then go attack every unsuspecting hunk and bring about the fall of civilization with their wild abandon. After all, in most romance novels the heroine supports traditional values. What romance does is acknowledge that women also experience sexual feelings.

Home Mechele Armstrong Catherine Asaro ... Diana Lee Johnson Updated March 7, 2006 December 2005 Tor The Final Key The Final Key (Triad, Book II) is the completion of the duology Triad, which began with the novel Schism (Triad, Book I) An epic story of how the Ruby Dynasty reached maturity, Triad reveals how a war of galactic proportions first explodes between two great empires. Schism ended with the Skolian Empire torn asunder by personal conflict within the royal family. With The Final Key, the Skolian Empire comes under all-out assault from its nemesis, the Euban Concord, who have undermined the Empire via subterfuge and assassination, leaving it ripe for conquest. The Skolian Empire's only hope? A young woman barely out of her teens who hasn't even complete her training as a cadet. Photo by Hugh Talman Catherine Asaro was born in Oakland, California and grew up in El Cerrito,just north of Berkeley. She received her Phd in Chemical Physics and MA in Physics, both from Harvard, and a BS with Highest Honors in Chemistry from UCLA. Among the places she has done research are the University of Toronto in Canada, the Max Planck Institut für Astrophysik in Germany, and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Her research involves using quantum theory to describe the behavior of atoms and molecules. Catherine was a physics professor until 1990, when she established Molecudyne Research, which she currently runs.

26. Crescent Blues | Author Interview: "Catherine Asaro: Fictional Fusion" catherine asaro Fictional Fusion By Stephen J. MetherellSmith. Few writers in the world of science fiction successfully fuse, love, http://www.crescentblues.com/3_2issue/asaro.shtml

Catherine Asaro: Fictional Fusion Catherine Asaro (Photo by Hugh Talman, courtesy of Catherine Nancy Berland Public Relations) Few writers in the world of science fiction successfully fuse love, romance and excitement with hard science. Yet Catherine Asaro pirouettes between the worlds of theoretical physics and action-oriented romance with the grace of the ballerina. For Asaro, these seemingly unlikely combinations flow as naturally as the choreography she learned at London's Royal Academy of Dance. A highly respected Ph.D. in chemical physics as well as a seasoned classical dancer, Asaro believes that creativity derives from the analytical side of human nature as much as from its artistic impulses. Her fans cite her award-winning fiction as proof that, in this case, the doctor really does know best. Crescent Blues: In previous interviews you discussed how your childhood imagination led you to daydream about girls flying around the universe in space ships (with a cat). Plus that you read a lot of the old masters like Asimov etc. Was there any particular influence that led you towards a scientific and sci-fi career, or was it just a natural progression? Catherine Asaro: Part of my interest in science comes from my father, a nuclear chemist. He discovered the iridium anomalies that led to the theory that an asteroid or comet hit the Earth 65 million years ago and caused mass extinctions, possibly including the dinosaurs. When Luis Alvarez, Walter Alvarez, Helen Michel and my father, Frank Asaro, published the paper with their hypothesis, it caused a commotion. He's done a lot of other interesting science, too. When I was little, he used to take me up to his lab. It was fun.

The Radiant Seas Catherine Asaro Tor Books, 512 pages Art: Julie Bell Catherine Asaro Catherine Asaro is a physicist at Molecudyne Research. She earned her PhD in chemical physics from Harvard, and a BS from UCLA. She also writes science fiction, a blend of hard SF with space adventure. Her debut novel, Primary Inversion , is in its second printing, Catch the Lightning won the 1997 Sapphire Award, and The Last Hawk was on the Nebula Preliminary ballot. The books are stand-alone novels, but take place in the same universe. Her husband, John Cannizzo, is the proverbial NASA rocket scientist, and an excellent resource for a writer of romantic space adventure! Catherine Asaro Website ISFDB Bibliography Excerpt: Primary Inversion ... The Last Hawk A review by Rich Horton Advertisement Catherine Asaro has quickly gained a reputation as a writer of very colorful space operas. Her novels are notable for such typical space-operatic virtues as (literally) larger-than-life heroes and heroines, truly bad villains, extravagant technology, star-spanning empires, and action-filled plots. I hope that description doesn't seem dismissive: on the contrary, Asaro really does make virtues of each of these characteristics. In addition, her novels feature significant romance subplots (to the degree that she has won awards in the Romance field). More notably for SF readers, the science and technology, for all its extravagance, is grounded in either real physics, or at least plausible, if extremely speculative physics. In particular, her rationales for telepathy and faster-than-light travel (as presented in her first novel

Outside of a Dog: Kate Nepveu's Book Log Wednesday, July 28, 2004 Of the 2004 Hugo Award Nominees for Best Novella , there's only one I strongly dislike, Catherine Asaro's "Walk in Silence" online at Analog Walter Jon Williams's "The Green Leopard Plague" online at Asimov's Moving up my ballot, there's a Connie Willis Christmas story (apparently she makes a practice of them?), "Just Like the Ones We Used to Know" online at Asimov's ). The White Christmas to end all White Christmases, and its effects on a large cast of characters. Fluffy, innocuous comfort food. My two top stories are Vernor Vinge's "The Cookie Monster" online at Analog ) and Kage Baker's "The Empress of Mars" online at Asimov's ). Vinge's story is a paranoid tale about people who know more than they ought. It's notable for its multiple references to prior sf: Vinge appears to be riffing off of and rewriting a bunch of other stuff, including himself, explicitly in a reference I don't recognize, and implicitly with regard to A Deepness in the Sky . It's a very solid story, with all the skiffy goodness one expects from Vinge.

Review: Catherine Asaro, The Last Hawk (sf novel) Alan P. Scott Rants Reviews at long last I'm well aware this review is horribly belated. I read The Last Hawk when it came out in hardback, and now even its paperback release has been out for quite some time. This sorry state of affairs is entirely due to my own procrastination - Asaro's novel is a captivating read. Some details a few paragraphs below might be considered SPOILERS for The Last Hawk ; I don't think so myself but if you don't like to know any thing about a book before you start it you should skip this review. Also, this review contains some comments about Anne McCaffrey's newer book Nimisha's Ship , in which that work suffers by comparison with Asaro's - rabid McCaffrey fans will want to skip this, rather than waste time trying to change my mind about it. Otherwise, please press on... IF an sf writer is going to build a successful universe in which to set stories - I'm not for a moment suggesting that this is the only way to be a good sf writer, but it's certainly one good way - then it helps to build your universe well from the very beginning. Construct a milieu large enough to hold more tales than any one person could possibly write, but confine each individual vision to a comprehensible human scale - no ten-page lists of dramatis personae , please. Place stories in their settings as if they were sonic sculptures, near enough to harmonize but not so close together that they interfere or become cloying. Allow the details that define your universe to emerge from the background in their own time, as much as possible, rather than thrusting them in the readers' faces. And avoid getting
