Historical romance: Hm, only E.E. Ottoman springs to mind.

It's not a genre I read too much of. But when I do come across a gay novel that sounds interesting, I do a little research on the author, As soon as I read "she lives with her husband and too many dogs" or something like that I move on. This goes against my usual principles. I wouldn't judge an author like that in any other case. But with gay fiction, I just don't want to contribute to what I see as a real problem.
