- Which female science fiction writers write "hard" science fiction? (Obviously I have a mental list, but it may not be standard.)
- What about writers for shows like Star Trek, which I don't know anything about?
- I've heard claims that though 70% of all book buyers are female, science-fiction book buyers are predominantly male; can anyone support either of these claims?
- How much would it cost to bring, say, Maureen F. McHugh to Seattle?

Highly generic romance novel with an outer space twist. And I *read* romance novels, even.)
