I do agree with much of what David Stodolsky is saying ... conventional novels 
aimed at female readership are a pretty cliched genre. Looking at the future 
implications of revivals, eg finding a new marriage might have taken place, as 
he suggests, mean the novel moves into a different genre. It is of necessity set
in the future. There lies one of the many problems. Taking on something of this
nature is considered to be set in the sci-fi genre ... thus not targeting women
as the prime market. Too much 'relationship' emphasis is not a male target 
market. It is also very difficult to ge tinto the sci-fi and fantasy markets. 

Self publishing may be popular and not too expensive these days but marketing is
rarely successful and very time consuming. Facebook and Twitter and so on, can 
be used but people still have to be persuaded to buy!
