We got a pretty good New York Times Sunday Magazine review for High Couch, which meant that the sf/f people felt required to review it. In general the sf/fantasy people didn't know what to make of this very intelligent sword-wielding courtesan. High Couch sold very well I had done two sequels they sold very well.
It found no friends among conservatives or feminists the characters were pansexual but adhered to no earthly "group identity" that would please anyone. I knew no one in publishing my first book, High Couch of Silistra, cover several controversial topics, including eroticism and the genetic basis of sexual behavior. I sold the first draft of the first novel I ever wrote through the first agent that we approached, Perry Knowlton, and stayed with him until he died. Negative reviews and rejections happen: reading is a subjective pass-time different people bring different abilities, different levels of literacy, and different emotional states with them when they read.
