"Married to the Alien Admiral" removed from the “LGBTQ+ Science Fiction" Category

My book “Married to the Alien Admiral” has been removed from the “LGBTQ+ Science Fiction” category.


I can only guess, as Amazon has not answered my question directly, that they believe a human woman married to a male alien who is also in an intimate relationship with a female alien is not bisexual.


Granted, if you only look at the new cover, you wouldn't know, but as the author, I know, and in the blurb, it says:


This book contains explicit romantic scenes with aliens of both sexes for mature audiences.

I wanted to post this so that people didn't get the wrong impression and think that I was trying to hide this character's sexuality from readers.

I have contacted Amazon a few times about it, but Amazon will not put the book back in the LGBTQ+ Science Fiction category and will not tell me why my book does not meet this category's requirements.


My guess is that the people at Amazon deciding…
