Compis, my YA fantasy, has two YA male perspectives in it, and it has 16 reviews on goodreads, so that should be enough, yes? Although, I don't think it was clear if you were going to READ the books or not. I'd prefer someone who read it promoted it. Sorry if that seems picky!

All my books have male protagonist but Forever Mine and Sweet Sofie are the only two I market as Mature YA. Both have enough reviews and Forever Mine is currently free on Amazon.  |

No, I won't be reading it, but it's just a list with title, author, and genre. Should be going up tomorrow! I'll return with a link |

I don't have the required reviews, but I'll chime in anyway in case books that need love get included. (It's only been out a month, I'm trying to get it out to blogs so I hope it will have more soon.) My "A School for Villains" has a male protagonist, and he's a villain in training... |

It's a stretch, but I have a supporting character who is a black teenager and is bullied for being gay. No reviews; story needs some attention because it's only been out since the 7th.

No reviews here (been out for about 2 months), but Kingmaker has a male protagonist. Kindle link is in my signature, but it's available elsewhere through Smashwords, as well.

BTW, Emily, you've got a real knack for cover art. Really impressive use of light and color.

My young adult hockey novel Face-Off has two male protagonists, rival twin brothers Brad and T.J. McKendrick. It has 5 reviews on Amazon.

I write YA books, usually with male protagonists, and I think I have at least five reviews on GoodReads but I wouldn't swear to it without looking. My most recent work is a three-part series entitled "The Last Werewolf Hunter", and the main character is named Zach Trewick. He's in junior high, and comes from a family of cursed werewolves, although he isn't one himself (yet). The story follows his painful choices and his growth as a person as he is forced to choose between the people he loves and the things he believes are right. . . choices which don't always lead him in the directions you might expect. The first installment in the series, entitled "Cry for the Moon", was nominated for the Texas Lone Star Reading List for excellence in young adult literature, and the two sequels are entitled "Behind Blue Eyes" and then "More Golden Than Day". There is some humor in the series, and also some real depth I think. There's also a Christian element. If you'd like to find out more about my work and my writing, you can visit my website. I post a lot of my writing there, and some commentary on why and how various stories were written. The link is www.williamwoodall.org |

Well, if it's not too late, or if you want to do something with it later, my Venture books are YA, not only with a male protag, but from his POV. Most of the supporting characters are male, too, since the series is about a prize fighter . . . though female readers seem to enjoy the action, too, and it turns out guys are liking the relationships between the characters just as much as they do. Here's my Goodreads page for R.H. Russell. These books are fairly new, and I only have a few reviews for the first one, Venture Untamed, but a couple of them are really nice, well-written and informative, without giving spoilers. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5257639.R_H_Russell |
