That's not my whole definition, but I don't find anything particularly scientific in her books--not saying that is bad, it's just not very science fiction to me. One of my books is somewhat futuristic with lots of gadgets that either exist or probably will someday, but I don't market it as science fiction. Maybe I should, but I don't really think it fits that genre. And again, I'm not poking at your definition. I think it's fine to have various definitions of it.
