I have never read any of her books yet, but I am interesting in fiction with gay & lesbian main characters and somebody did tell me that several of her books have gay lead characters in them. I tried searching, but she seems to have written so many books it was difficult to dig through them to find out which I am looking for.

Can anybody help me by pointing out which series I should be looking at? :)

There's a series of 3 books where the main character is gay. The books are Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise and Magic's Price. I have the books in a 3-in-1 novel called the The Last Herald-Mage. You might be able to find them that way if not alone. :) Hope that helps.

The Stone Dance of the Chameleon trilogy by Ricardo Pinto is an excellent series with a gay protaganist.

Mark Anthony's The Last Rune series has several excellent bi and gay characters. The series starts with Beyond the Pale.

You could try Elizabeth A Lynn's "Watchtower", "The Dancers of Arun", and "The Northern Girl". And also Tanya Huff "The Fire's Stone". And I think Melissa Scott too (sci-fi), can't remember the name of the book though.

Hi Robert

May I recommend David Feintuch's The Still? It's beautiful, sexy and a cracking good story to boot. Best gay (male) interest fantasy I've ever read.

If you'd like to read more about the book, you can find my review of it on my Web site at http://www.geocities.com/aphraxxx. Click on 'A-G' on the left hand menu, scroll down to 'Feintuch, David' and click on the link for 'The Still'.

Happy reading!
