In [livejournal.com profile] rosefox' article "Crossing the Streams"! It's a short mention, but hey, it's PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY. :) (and now publicly viewable; I knew it existed earlier but couldn't see it)

EDIT TO ADD: What's really amusing is that Phoenix Rising is fairly cross-genre itself; among other things, one of the characters who plays a significant role in the book is a native of Earth who is carrying a portable gaming system (as part of the small number of things he brought with him when dragged off unceremoniously)... which he demonstrates to a couple of the main characters, who are fascinated by it.

Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] rosefox!

Huzzah!

I find it amusing that the "mainstream" sees genre-bending and -blending as something new. It's something that speculative and science fiction authors have been doing for as long as they've been writing speculative and science fiction. :)

Heck, I'd go back to Mary Shelley (/Frankenstein/ being a mashup of gothic horror and mad science) and Jules Verne (his generally known works blending period science and high adventure).

Creative endeavours being what they are, I think genre-bending and genre-crossing started to arrive soon after genres were thought of. Sometimes they are so successful they don't appear to be genre-bending or genre-crossing afterwards.

Arguably, Digital Knight was your first fantasy novel. :-)

But I can see how they'd class it as SF.

Wait 'til folks find out that Phoenix Rising is (arguably) SF. :-)

Of course, that's a few books down the line.

You've heard Charles Stross's quip about his books and genres? "My science fiction is marketed as fantasy, my fantasy is marketed as horror, and my horror is marketed as science fiction."

Do you know the Uresia gaming setting? It has lots of cross-genre stuff in it as well, including some characters who play portable gaming systems.
