Are there any male authors of romance novels?

Today I was in the Romance section of Chapters and it hit me, there doesn't seem to be one author of these novels that is a male! I hope I'm wrong, because it's beginning to make me think that these novels really are just fantasy, haha.Are there any male authors of romance novels?
Most of the answers, apart from Doc W are correct. Nicolas Sparks is probably the most famous of male romance writer. Similarly many, many men have published Mills %26amp; Boon romances using a female non de plume - this is more common than you think.



Also it is not strictly romance (unless you count it as teen romance) but the 'carefully selected author' who writes the VC Andrews series (on behalf of the Virginia C Andrews trust) such as Dawn, Ruby, Melody etc is actually horror writer Andrew Niederman. Similarly, one of George W Bushes senior advisers previously ghost wrote many Sweet Valley High and Baby Sitters Club books.

Are there any male authors of romance novels?
I read that many of the Mills and Boon romance authors are men - but they often use female pen names, because people are more likely to buy a romance novel by a woman.
There are like Joseph Conrad %26amp; Ford Madox Ford and

of course,Erich Segal who wrote "LOVE STORY",after that it became

a movie. Are there any male authors of romance novels?
Nicholas Sparks is WONDERFUL! Very sensitive.

Nicholas Evans (Horse Whisperer)

Eric Jerome Dickey (African American characters)


Only gay ones i suspect, romance is a fantasy of the female mind.
Nicholas Sparks

Ian McEwan (Not sure if he counts or not)
