I've read a few Leigh Greenwood books and they were OK. Although I had to chuckled at the love scenes picturing this gray haired man writing them. I know May McGoldrick is really a husband and wife writing team. What other male romance writers are there and how to do they compare to female writers? |
|||
|
|||
I don't think I've ever read a romance written by a man. But maybe moden day men use pen names like women used to? I know I'd think twice before picking up something like - "Secret Sinful Affair, By Jake Smith" But now that I know they do exist I'm very curious to read one. |
|||
|
|||
It really doesn't matter one bit to me if it's a man or woman....as long as the book is good.... Leigh greenwood is good and I especially liked his earlier works...but l PERSONALLY don't like his recent releases...esp for the COWBOY SERIEs..I stopped at MATT. Hoping if he gets to finish the OTHER SERIES he'll do a better job with the remaining characters... |

I know most don't like Nicholas Sparks, some think he is too sappy. I enjoyed most of his books though. They are sweet romances and not heavy into sex scenes. I enjoy Nicholas Evans too. "The Horse Whisperer" is one of my favorites! He tends to write more suspense or drama into his storylines with romance mixed in. |

There's a husband/wife team that wrote for loveswept seems like adn think they still wirte those type books but can't think of their name.. |

I know I'd think twice before picking up something like - "Secret Sinful Affair, By Jake Smith" That made me laugh! Thanks! |

Susanna - I think you're talking about Tori Carrington. I know they are a husband and wife writing duo. They do Harlequin Blazes. link to their website http://www.toricarrington.net/ Last Edited on: 12/27/07 4:02 PM ET - Total times edited: 2 |

Oh I didn't know Tori Carrington was a husband and wife duo like May McGoldrick. I think Al Lacy writes Christian western romances right? I've never read one. |
|||
|
|||
whoa! I didn't know tori carrington was a him and her team either! nope, the ones I was thinking about wrote loveswept under Anne and Ed Kolaczyk and had another book later that was by andrea edwards I think...seems like they write under a lot of names from a link I found to their website! think it said they'd been writing together for 18 yrs! |

I thought Jayne Ann Krentz was a husband-wife team, but maybe I'm thinking of someone else? Jude Whatisface, who wrote _Indescretion_, is a man. So of course the book is published as lit-er-a-cha instead of romance. Hrumph. |
|||
|
|||
Jayne Ann Krentz is Amanda Quick - not a husband/wife duo. |
|||
|
|||
I thought the Fabio books were "ghost written". Just using his face because he was hot at the time. Personally he never did anything for me. |
|||
|
|||
I think Tom and Laura London did some older Loveswepts? |
|||
|
|||
Yeah, Sharon and Tom Curtis writing as Laura London, right? Which reminds me, I found a copy of The Windflower in a thrift store the other day for 10 cents - I think the low price for that on Amazon right now is around $25. I know I've been looking for a copy for months, and I was in shock at finding it like that. |
|||

|||
According to the about the author paragraph I was just looking at Leda Swann is a pseudonym for a M/F writing team. It doesn't say who he or she is just that they are a writing team and "life partners". |
|||
|
|||
May McGoldrick is also Jan Coffey and Nicole Cody. And it is a husband and wife team. I read one book by Jan Coffey and it was pretty good. I never got around to the others. And Love and Mayhem by Nicole Cody was a good historical. I like Nicholas Sparks...sometimes. I was really ticked off with him after At First Sight. I've been told to read Dear John, but I'm still mad at the man! James Patterson has 2 'romances' out and they're wonderful! Sam's Letters to Jennifer is one of my favorite books. |

That's why i put in parenthesis "Questionable: But according to WIKIPEDIA he's an AUTHOR:
|
|||
|
|||
Fabio?!!! What were the book titles, did they start with " I Can't Believe It's Not...........". LOL, whenever i hear the name Fabio i think of his butter commericals or the time he got hit in the face during a roller coaster ride by a duck(or goose). |
|||
|
|||
But it does make for an interesting Book phrase!! At least it'll give those Series book writers something besides greek billionaire tycoon's virgin bride's baby contract lol!!! Last Edited on: 12/28/07 12:11 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

I have a male friend who has written a number of romance novels - under a female name. He tells me it's a lot more common than people think. His sister does some of his appearances for him. And no - I'm not going to out him! |
|||
|
|||
OK Sharon: You have to tell us: Have we discussed his books on here?
Everyone: bombard Sharon w/PMs until she tells us who her friend is!! |
|||
|
|||
I'm going crazy now trying to remember who I was thinking of, if not Krentz. Maybe Jayne Castle? I get them mixed up. ;-) It was someone popular, who writes a lot and under more than one name, I know that much. |
|||
|
|||
Ha! I see Jayne Castle is another name for Krentz - no wonder I get them mixed up! ;-) |

I started an authors psuedonym thead a while back. I wonder what pages it's on now. |
