@Queen Bee – I was in the process of releasing one secular fiction piece, but I really need to tweak the manuscript a bit more before I let the public see it. 😀
If this inspires you, Susan Eloise Hinton, author of The Outsiders, chose to publish under her initials because her publisher was worried that the message of her story wouldn’t be taken as seriously by the intended audience. It, too, was from a male POV, and I personally think she portrayed him very well. I don’t recommend the book, but it was well-written for a secular audience.
I don’t read a lot of teen fiction, especially if the main focus is the romantic aspect, but if it’s only a minor aspect of the story, I can tolerate it. 🙂
@VM – LOL!
