Music Publisher Influenced by SF Novel:
Vincent James writes of DreamSpy by Jacqueline Lichtenberg.
As a bit of a Star Trek and Vampire enthusiast I [had come across [Jacqueline Lichtenbergs name and work before. . . . [then when researching on the Web the name DreamSpy, which I originally thought of after seeing the movie Twelve Monkeys . . . I . . . came across [DreamSpy by Jacqueline Lichtenberg . . .and . . . that is what solidified for me what name I wanted to call my band. . ...the band eventually changed it's name to Machine Love, and now I have taken the name DreamSpy as my music publishing name (DreamSpy net Works) . . . .

Claire Daniels (AKA Jaqueline Girdner), author of the Cally Lazar mystery series says In Dreamspy, Jacqueline Lichtenberg races past the boundaries of genre with all the grace of a woman carrying an interstellar passport. . . .(she) tells her story well and compassionately with strong, vibrant characters, intricate plotting, and good, solid writing. . . ."
Sheila Finch - Nebula Award Winning sf/f author and linguist, author of the Guild of Xenolinguists series says: . . .

High Impact Novel Series Receives Highest Praise
One reader writes on amazon.com says of Sime~Gen: The Unity Trilogy: These books changed my life"
In a time when I was wondering if there was any good in the world, if there was any good in mankind, if anyone could even imagine any good in mankind, I picked up one of
these books. I read Ambrov Keon in one night, went back for House of Zeor and then for more. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
Zelerod's Doom as fast as I could find them. . . . -- the books are the perfect mirror into what is wrong [with our world today. They also hold up a second mirror -- how to heal the problem.
Compassion. Love. Caring for others."

Why do Lichtenberg & Lorrah novels grab readers?
From New York Times Book Review -- Gerald Jonas -- Jan 23, 1983 "When I first [read the Sime/Gen [books . . .I had trouble deciding whether [they were science fiction as pornography or science fiction as soap opera. ...[but not because they deal obsessively with sex. ... They deal obsessively with the ... union between ... two races." These books combine ... qualities of both porn and the soaps. It is precisely this mix of genres that makes them so satisfying.
Publishers Weekly quotes Lichtenberg:
From Publishers Weekly -- Rosemary Herbert -- Nov. 10, 1989 . . .we are now witnessing the development of a new genre . . .a genre which might be labeled "intimate adventure."
Intimate/Adventure is the result of replacing the Action" in Action/Adventure with Intimacy -- but an intimacy that has little to do with sex and everything to do with psychological visibility, personal validation, and spiritual growth through emotional honesty, the kind of emotional honesty that requires true heroism. Intimate Adventure mixes easily with any genre.
