I think it is Fantasy that requires space travel and aliens.
Why isn't it just plain Fantasy?
Because...um...space ships?
Why isn't that Science Fiction?
Because the science part isn't very important?
I have asked a lot of people about how to classify Facade. The immediate reaction to aliens and space travel is that it should fall under Science Fiction. But the story is mostly about a lost culture. On the other hand, to say it was Fantasy without a magic system or a quest or even any wizards seems wrong.
It is more of blend of both, perhaps. I asked Alex to give me a Fantasy image and Scifi type for the cover to infer a combination of genres.
Space Fantasy just feels right. It happens on multiple planets and there might be a kind of magic in the psychic skills of some characters.
It isn't a new on Amazon. When I searched for books with "Space Fantasy" as a keyword, over 35,000 books popped up. But it isn't a proper category.
Facade will be 1/2 price until Sunday May 15. Starting Monday it will go up to $2.99. Grab one while they're cheap!
