The Piano Maidens is much more like the kinds of stories I generally like to write then my prior two TOTS contributions. Because I generally like to write female leads/POV characters, and also really like including LGBT representation in my stories. This story is also a dialogue driven one, no action.
The story stars Eugenia Danglars and Louise d'Armilly from Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte-Cristo. They are Lesbians who were removed from the oldest English Translation of the Novel as well as most adaptations. But they are fully restored in the Penguin Classics translation. And in Matthew Baugh's The Vampire Count of Monte-Cristo.
I am depicting both of these characters as exclusively Monosexually Homosexual. In my Headcanon for these characters, and actual Canon of any stories I write, neither ever has or ever will be intimate with a man.
Like all TOTS stories it's also a crossover, It features and mentions a lot of both fictional and historical figures. It's a very Nerdy story.
I include a number of little Easter eggs only fellow PLL will get.
I hope actual Lesbians will be able to enjoy how I write these characters. So if any LGBT people read this story and has any criticism of it, please feel free to let me know. I'd really, really appreciate it if by some off chance Heather Hogan did a review of it.
The Book will come out this December, please buy the book, BlackCoatPress does a lot of important work, they deserve more success.
Other works from the same Publisher that should interest those of us who want more Female representation in Genre Fiction include Rick Lai's Shadows of The Opera and Sisters of The Shadows series. And Nina Cooper's translations of some early female lead detective and spy stories. And I of course always recommend Paul Feval as translated by Brian Stableford.
