List of Male Romance Authors (Some Using Feminine Pseudonyms)/Please add your additions to this list.

There are some romance authors I love because they seem to really find the voice of their male characters. Nora Roberts is one. I love her trilogies that focus on male friends or brothers because she seems to really capture the dynamic between males; how they can gather around a younger male figure and "show him the ropes" on what it means to be a man and/or what it means to be family, whether they brawl or deck each other in an argument and then quickly move on to the handshake, or just in how they speak to each other when they have to discuss something serious. It feels real to me. It seems like how real guys would interact with each other. How does she do that? I assume she has learned from watching her husband and sons and possibly their male friends.

Then I started thinking about male romance writers. I was wondering if their take on the male friendship dynamic would be obviously different or if Nora is just a genius and has nailed it. This led me to the discovery that there are a lot more male writers out there than I was aware of. One site said 1%. Another said from 5% to 40% were male!! Really?

Out of curiosity, I would like to know which authors are actually male. When I read their books, I'd like to possibly learn from them what a real (masculine) "romantic voice" sounds like and not just how the typical female reader wants them to sound like.

This is what I've come up with. Do you know of any more?

I did NOT verify any of the Touchstones, by the way.

A.E. Maxwell Is Ann Maxwell (aka Elizabeth Lowell) and her husband Evan Maxwell

>3 AddictedToMorphemes: Not all the authors are marked as male/female/etc, so this might be a good post for verifying!
