Writing From a Male Perspective (+ A Cover Reveal) by Liwen Y. Ho

It's hard to believe the year is coming to a close, isn't it? As I look back on 2018, I'm so thankful I began writing a new series this year of Christian contemporary romance books. My Spark Brothers series follows the lives and loves of five brothers who are all unique in their own ways. So far, I've released books 1 and 2, A Single Spark and A Sudden Spark respectively, and will be releasing book 3, The Sweetest Spark come January 2019.

I can honestly say that writing this series has been more challenging and rewarding than I imagined, especially since I need to really get inside the mind of a man. And not just one man, but five! For someone like me who is a very girly girl and doesn't have any brothers, I've had to rely a lot on my experience with male friends and most of all, my relationship with my husband, to understand how guys think and act. When I need more inspiration, I look to characters from my favorite TV shows. Fortunately, there are many examples for me to consider when I need to write from a male perspective.

Colin Spark, the main character from The Sweetest Spark, is brother number three, the middle child. He's fun-loving and impulsive, but also patient and sweet, especially when it comes to the woman he loves. He's a bit like Joey Tribbiani from Friends, mixed with Jack Pearson from This Is Us. And he's the perfect man for a straight-laced, uptight woman like Candy Connelly who needs a lot of tender loving care. I really enjoyed bringing these two characters together and I can't wait to share this story with you. For now, here's the cover reveal!

I chose this image because I just love the tender way Colin is looking at Candy. What do you think of the cover? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
