Oh, hey, in the course of browsing through far too many of those listings on Amazon to check out Bad Heroine Names, I found at least ONE example where she wrote an Indian romance that WASN'T about hapless white women being won over by the Savage Mighty Wang! This one actually had an Indian heroine hooking up with Indian guy -- but she was an orphan raised by a white family, presumably to keep her from being too "exotic" for white readers to identify with. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mighty Wang comes into play in helping undo the effects of her assimilated upbringing, or getting her in touch with her birth culture, or something like that; fortunately, the text excerpts they had online didn't go nearly far enough into the book for me to find out. ;)
