One of the genres I read are pretty much written by "white" women. I'm not sure I've ever seen Amish lite fiction written by someone of color, black, Asian, etc. I did find some male authors in that genre, writing both from a female and male POV.
It makes me curious about the background of some of the "Christian" authors I've read. Now I need to look some of them up.
I don't think authors should be pigeon-holed into writing only from a certain POV. I think research needs to be well done for any author writing totally outside of their world, whether it is a gender POV, or a cultural POV.
It's too bad the old Amazon forums are gone. There was a lengthy thread began by someone who only wanted to read male authors. It sparked a good conversation.
Back later for more thoughts...
