Okay sorry, I misspoke when I said genre. Perhaps I should have said gender. I don’t think I really read much where the main character is male. Of course that is just me not everyone. Well could be interesting. I look forward to checking it out.

Then I would argue that you are limiting your own options, madam.  I read plenty of stuff with female protagonists, and male too, obviously.  I just like good stories.  The purpose of “Gripping Tales” would be to inject a bit of “manliness” back into genre fiction, not necessarily to exclude women.

I have a whole rant about “limiting” audiences versus actually “attracting” them and the dangers of the “all things to all people” philosophy that has made all of our cable tv stations look exactly the same, but that’s for another time.
