This did tend to fall away a little, especially for my two novels set in the ancient Roman Military, but I have tried to manage as best I could, and I am not entirely sure I know why. It is not for political correctness, and it is not for sales, and my best guess is I felt that if half the population were female, they should predominate. Also, in my novel Ranh, which is about evolved dinosaurs, the major characters were female, to reflect the evidence that the female dinosaurs were the most powerful.Ian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252375814985734176noreply@blogger.com
