M/M Erotica Why So Popular with Women

I see on a lot of book blogging sites many female readers are enjoying M/M erotica. It is currently one of the fastest growing markets.

But why?

Do any of you readers out there enjoy M/M erotica? If yes why?

If you don't why?

Have you read any of it to give it a try?

I've read some. I have to say that the M/M stuff that's written by women is much more appealing to me as a woman that any M/M erotica written by a man. Something about the M/M stuff I've read by men squicks me out. Gay men have a totally different view on M/M action which is fine but for me as a woman I like a woman's point of view better. The writing is more sensual.

It's pretty much the same with straight fiction. Men and women write differently even when writing in the same genre. There are tells in the way words are phrased or the way something is described. Sometimes a simple detail will give it away.

I like reading books by women and 99% of the time I can tell when a book has been written by a man- and this is without ever looking at the author's name or any info about the writer.

What do you think? Can you tell if an author is male or female by the writing alone?

And if you have read M/M fiction do you see a big difference between male and female writers?

And since we're talking about M/M erotic and romantic fiction I'd like to introduce you to one of Fang-tastic Books sponsors for September and October- Dreamspinner Press.

Dreamspinner Press publishes only M/M fiction.

If you are a fan I would suggest checking them out- they have a pretty large selection.

Through September and October I will be showcasing some of their new releases that have a paranormal or fantasy slant to them.

I hope you enjoy. I think I'll be giving a few of the books a try and see what I'm missing.

Win a Pdf of Like That Spark

Today I am offering a giveaway of my newest release: Like That Spark

It is an erotic paranormal collection published by Circlet Press

The new Circlet Press anthology which contains my story "A Last Goodbye" which is brand new and never before published

In my story "A Last Goodbye" new witch Marissa is learning the ropes of being one of The Others. One of her mentors is vampire Deirdre, a tall beauty that really irritates Marissa. Marissa is extremely pissed when she shows up to Dante's Ball and finds Deirdre there with Marissa's recent ex-boyfriend, Jeff. The one she was encouraged to break up with because of his humanity. Deirdre explains her reasons for bringing Jeff and offers to help Marissa say goodbye to him in a way none of them will ever forget.

Like That Spark is a collection of short stories that explore the sensuality and eroticism of the moment when two characters finally realize they are meant to be together. These are tales of relationships and the beginnings of romantic and sexual connections. The stories here will challenge you and your notions of what constitutes a relationship in the first place. You will not find the common tame romance tale here.

Here erotic connections are represented by the science fiction and fantasy worlds; a realm of infinite possibilities. Nothing is ever as it seems. There are mythical kingdoms, distant planets, futuristic cities, surreal dreamscapes, sultry bedchambers, and even the furthest reaches of space to tempt and entice you.
