Sweet Starfire
''Sweet Starfire'' was the first futuristic romance. Written by Jayne Ann Krentz, the novel was released in 1986. Krentz likened the novel to a historical romance set in another world, and its success inspired her to begin writing historical romances under the pseudonym Amanda Quick.
==Background==
Jayne Ann Krentz is a prolific author, releasing books under multiple pseudonyms. Krentz sold her first novel in 1979, and since then writes between two and four novels a year. In the early 1980s, she wrote several contemporary romances under the pen name Stephanie James. One of these, ''The Devil to Pay'', released in 1985, featured a heroine who wrote science fiction novels. Readers enjoyed the small science fiction references in the story, inspiring Krentz to incorporate those elements into a romance plot.〔Pierce, p. 99.〕
Before the 1980s, there was almost zero overlap between the popular fiction genres of romance novels and science fiction. Beginning in the early 1980s, time travel themes began to appear in some romances, but the novels focused primarily on the difficulties of assimilation as a conflict between the hero and heroine. Krentz's follow-up to ''The Devil to Pay'', ''Sweet Starfire'', was the first romance novel to fully embrace science fiction precepts.〔 It launched the futuristic romance subgenre.〔Pierce, p. 98.〕
The novel was initially released in 1986. It was re-released in 2002 in an omnibus edition with ''Crystal Flame''. Krentz credits these two novels with giving her the inspiration to write historical romances. She has since released more than a dozen bestselling historical romances under the pen name Amanda Quick.〔
