Actually, we considered The Number of the Beast, 1634: The Baltic War and Boomsday to be also SF.

(And Soon I Will Be Invincible, in the Altiverse catalog, is at least debatable...)

I prefer to think of the magic, including the stuff the Not-Narnians had, in Soon I Will Be Invincible to be a special case of the weird science found elsewhere in the book. We don't how it works - yet- but only because it has not been properly studied. To me, it's SF.

By properly studied, I mean studied by people not suffering from malign hypercognition syndrome.

You're right, the first three are SF, but I don't like reading those authors and I skipped right by them. Somehow I don't think Rome is going to buy more SF from authors I like.
