Frighten the horses

There's a nice profile in this week's Times magazine of Scott & Scott, who are probably the only gay-romance-writing-duo (well, with the possible exception of certain contributors to Boyd McDonald's Straight to Hell, and also S&S don't talk so much about tearooms and glory holes).

I'm thrilled that Warner's picked up their latest book, Hot Sauce, and less thrilled that Warner's eschewed the fabulous Michael Breyette's artwork for what appears to be the gay male equivalent of a pink cover with a pair of high-heeled sandals and a martini glass. Still, if you want to sell it in Dubuque, this is probably the preferred medium.

The funny thing about the Times piece is that it never addresses what I'd guess would be a sizeable portion of S&S's readership: lesbians and female slash fiction writers.
