Almost All My SF Stories Have Female Leads?
Most of my 25 books feature female leads because of the strong females leads in my career and personal life, including the first class of female Air Force pilots I taught. Male sci-fi heroes often lack depth, relying on violence and clichéd leadership. I prefer writing complex female protagonists who make tough choices beyond using aggression and brute force. There is a lot more to leadership than super powers.
In my main series “Virus/Earth II” the main character is the commander of a space station and over the course of the seven-book series she travels space, leads Earth’s Defense Force in space battles and eventually become the Vice President. Other female main characters include an Admiral responsible for the attack portion of the space fleet and a female admiral who was commander of a fleet in the Pacific become president of the United States.
I have an interesting two book series (Progeny, Progeny’s Descendants) where the major character is actually a female computer. I found that very interesting to write and I’m proud of how I justified having male and female computers within that society.
I hope that you enjoy my work. If you have any comments, feel free to email me at rayjaywriter@yahoo.com and check out my books at www.rayjayperreault.com
