COMMENTARY - WOMEN, GAMING, AND RELATIONSHIPS IN BOOKS

I recently completed an e-book entitled FOR THE LOVE OF AIRAGOS (available at Amazon and Smashwords), where the lead character is a journalist but also a woman who loves to play role playing games and massively multiplayer online games. Since I do these things every day, I didn’t think before releasing it about how other women might take to it. When I was younger, women gamers were neither common nor popular. Now, girl games are out in force.

The twist is that I market it in part of my line devoted to women and relationship fiction (marketing it as romance is inaccurate as that has expected hallmarks of the genre as I came to learn early on). Will women who read about relationship fiction and women driven by passion for what they do in life relate to a lead who also happens to be a gamer geek?

Another book of mine, THE PHOENIX RISES, features a librarian in her 40s (it is available bundled with the sequel THE PHOENIX BURNS  in e-book form as THE PHOENIX COLLECTION at Amazon and Smashwords, as well as by itself in print through Amazon), is actually one of my more popular titles. Librarians might fall into that same kind of perception area, and if so, perhaps FOR THE LOVE OF AIRAGOS will succeed equally well. I’m curious what people think about this idea of nerdy or geeky girls as leads and would love to hear comments.
