Waves at everyone. I am
Jadette Paige. I write m/m fantasy/contemporary romance.
Why you ask?
I was a man in another life.
Hey...
Don't look at me like that.
I happen to be very serious.
About four or five years ago, I
played around with writing a m/m romance. Imagine the expressions (and
comments) I received from my critique group when I posted a small (iddy biddy
tiny - I blushed) section of a story.
They were like You wrote this???
Uh, yeah! What of it?
Oh, nothing, nothing, just can't see
you writing M/M romance.
So to prove them wrong (human nature
when you're competitive, right?), I set out to write a M/M fantasy romance. I
finished and submitted it to a publisher. Two weeks later it was contracted.
Verification? I think so.
From the very beginning of my
writing career, I have told the stories through the male hero's pov. They come
to me that way. Not the female's but the males. I'm comfortable in the male's
POV. So was it a no brainer? I believe so.
Blue Heaven
Take him from Heaven’s Seat. Bring him to me. We will protect
his sacred head.
Stryver Zorti’s mission appears simple. Kidnap the Godchild and
deliver him to his master. But with the first meeting of the holy man’s azure
gaze, desire surges in him to strip bare the God and touch the man within.
Worshiped all his life, the Godchild is shocked by the stranger
who dares lay hands on him, even if it is to save him from assassins. With a
different name given by his new ally, Blue is freed from the constraints of the
holy order for the first time. He revels in the extraordinary experiences
opening to him, then in the passion that sparks between him and the hard-edged,
oddly gentle Stryver.
But a god does not love, and if discovered, their precarious
utopia will shatter, destroying any chance for a future together--that is, if
the assassins don’t kill them first.
I love reading m/m romance and I adore writing m/m romance.
Will I stop because I'm a woman? Hell no! Why?
Cause I was a man in my previous life. And if Tite
Kubo ends up killing off Yumichika or Ikkaku in this last story arc, I will be
pissed!

This is a wonderful give-a-way and I am learning so much about Yaoi from the Blog Hop. I am a fan of M/M but a newbie to Yaoi. Thanks for all the input from the authors.

We're soulmates! I also have always tended to "see" romance through the male character's eyes. I write a lot of heroes. :/ Sometimes I think the best thing about writing m/m romance is I get to write two heroes!

I just love and empathize with men so much, so yaoi and m/m have always appealed to me. BTW, BLUE HEAVEN looks just drool-inducingly gorgeous!

I can't always read novels set from a female lead's POV...it's rare, really. I prefer reading from a male lead's POV. It just so happens I'm the same with writing--I prefer to write a man. Funny how brains are wired.
Thank you for participating in the hop :D
I'm loving this blog hop
I agree completely in regards to Yumichika and Ikkaku. Great post.
Ditto. I've always found myself 'thinking' more like a man than any of the girls around me. A lot of people find that intimidating because girls should think or act a certain way, but I'm comfortable with it, and as a writer of M/M, my 'inner man' works well for me. Male heros are a lot more complex in the emotional department than most female heroines I've read about--a few excluded--and I like bringing those different facets out of a guy because they become more interesting. No longer are they are hot body with no brain and a gun/sword. Boo. No one likes that. Thanks for sharing and I'll have to check out your stuff now!

I love Yumichika and Ikkaku! Yumichika just makes my day. He doesn't want anyone to see his sword cause it's not manly. And he's 5th because he likes the number's pretty. Oh, how I love Yumi and all of 11. Anyways, Bleach aside, thanks so much for participating, it's been a blast!!

I enjoyed the post; it was a great read. I've added Blue Heaven to my wish list.
I'm a big yaoi manga and anime fan. I also love m/m novels, romance, mystery, fantasty, etc.
Two of my favorite yaoi manga are Junjo Romantica and The Finders series.
Thanks,

"I was a man in another life."
I am so glad that I am not the only one that thinks this. The first serious boyfriend I had looked a little like a 12 year old girl, and after dating for 5 years said I didn't have enough penis for him. Which is legit. Cause I don't have one.
Your post was very fun to read, and very 'real' if you know what I mean. It didn't feel like you were 'writing' but that you were hanging out, and speaking. Telling a story, but not lecturing. Well done!
