Jake Sorry, very tired. I meant a general novel, not a series. And yes, we could do with more f/f relationships as well since they are significantly less acknowledged due to a larger quantity of female readers doing the heterosexual male equivalent of watching female/female porn. Except, you know, different formats of viewing. Touchy subject for me. =)
I've read Magic's Pawn already =) And Lynn Flewelling's series Luck in the Shadows. I think the most impressive to date has been Vaughn R Demont's "Coyote's Creed". Drifting from my original point though. Sorry, still veyr tired. Hope you reply to this,
regards,
Jake

Millie Alger I thought Lord A was gay. LOL Is he not a main character?


message 3: by Jake (new)

Jake Alexia is the main character ;) The story is primayily told from her POV.


message 4: by Millie (new)

Millie Alger OK . I think since he was Alexia's friend and raised her child that gave him a POV??? Guess I was mistaken.


message 5: by Jake (new)

Jake To the best of my knowledge, the story isn't centred around him like it is for Alexia in her series, Sophronia in hets and Prudence to her own. Hence making Lord A a secondary or support character. Like Ivy or Bumblesnoot.

Millie Alger I didn't want to argue with you.


message 7: by Jake (new)

Jake I do apologise if I came across in such fashion. My aim was to simply clarify the differences between chatacters based on my limited knowledge.


message 8: by Millie (new)

Millie Alger Its OK I understand your passion. I have read the whole series and the spin off ones too. I am a faithful follower . So I tend to forget they are not real people when defending them.

Gail Carriger You got a Lesbian main character but not primarily romance in Competence https://gailcarriger.com/series/the-c...

Gail Carriger Most of the main characters of the new YA I am pitching are queer or gender fluid. But that's swapped mains.

Frankly, it's likely to be a while before I do a series with the same main POV character for all the books. Like I did with the Parasol Protectorate and the Finishing School. I just really prefer a shared world multi POV.
