I'm shy of lesbians. Isn't it funny what we think about? I have straight women and gay and straight and bisexual men in spades, but my only foregrounded characters who are queer women are Autumn and Carel.
I wonder why that is.
I'm doing okay with female POV characters, though The Stratford Man and associated texts and Undertow are a bit shy of them (one woman, four men, one hermaphrodite)--and our two coauthored books are all male. (Another reason to stick to two female POVs if we do a sequel to Wolves, I guess...) The Eddas are more or less balanced, though--except Bound, which is 3/1 m/f. Hmm. Now I need to think about it myself.
I'm contemplating changing a character in The Sea thy Mistress to a woman, just to redress the anti-lesbian bias balance a little. (His relationship is key to the plot, and I think he'd work fine as a chick.)
