It will be pleasant but require a good deal of mindbending on the part of the public when gender attraction roles are not so clearly defined (as in, the reader wonders whether the main character is falling in love with male a or female b, etc.)
Me, I personally like Lindsey Davies but I can imagine her work is not to everyone's taste. I don't know how off-kilter her history is.
Suzanne Gregory, however, has earned my endless opprobrium the impertinence to tackle my own areas of expertise and basically invent a poorly drawn Cadfael with all her academic prejudices showing. (In the era of witchcraft, regular handwashing, especially upon rising, was supposed to COMBAT witchcraft, not be a sign of it!)
