Not with your SF bent, I'm sure.  Thing is, I don't think her romances
have been reprinted in many years.  The one I read, and loved, was
written in 1898 and is thoroughly tame by modern romance reader's
standards.  It was set in the time and place of the Indian Mutiny and is
as fast-paced and involving as any of her early "ripping yarn"
mysteries. Imagine MM Kaye's books distilled to under 200 pages of
perfect prose and exciting plot and you have some idea why I want to
find more!
