Marc Levy writes romantic novels. I’ve read only "7 Days for an Eternity" & it’s kinda different, not like Nicholas Sparks’ novels, but I loved it & I know that the movie "Just Like Heaven" with Reese Witherspoon is based on his book too…

Romance is a woman’s genre, which means that most readers of it are going to be women. Sci-fi, for instance is a male dominated genre and most of it’s readers are men. I’ve come across books that have male names on the cover, but I never paid much attention to them so I can’t give you the names. But, I’m also skeptical of the names on the covers of books. Many authors use pen names, and when you think a book is being written by a man it’s actually a woman. And, I’ve had my suspicions about at least one romance book that had a man’s name on the cover and I have this nagging feeling that it’s really a woman. Those things you never know unless you see a picture of the author or see him/her in person.

But, it makes sense that women authors dominate the romance genre, because most romance is read by women. As a woman I feel that other women know what I like to read when it comes to romance compared to men. But, that’s just me! So, to combat this kind of thinking from people like me there might be a male romance author who goes under a woman’s pen name. Just something to think about. Women do it with male dominated genre’s like Sci-fi, where they use a male-oriented pen name instead of their own.
