Thoughts with Reverse Harem Author and Night Nurse, Yumoyori Wilson

Today I've got a special treat! I just met my favorite purple-haired black Canadian, and not only does she write awesome paranormal fiction between night shifts, she's also giving away free money!

As soon as I caught wind of Yumoyori Wilson, I wanted in on her blog tour (Amazon gift card giveaway below)! If you're new to Yumoyori, she's no newcomer to Young Adult Paranormal Mythology as seen by her heavily reviewed and well received collection of novels.

Her title Dark Wish, first in the Starlight Gods Series, is a Reverse Harem tale of a young 'experiment' fighting for her freedom.

I asked my friends to define Reverse Harem, and they almost unanimously responded with, "Picture any straight male fantasy...and then reverse the genders....then go read manga!" A harem with a female at the helm? I'm liking the sound of this! #girlboss

I caught up with Yumoyori to ask about her love of writing Reverse Harem and how young female readers can find a healthy boost of empowerment within the genre. Here are her thoughts.

What is 'Reverse Harem' and how can young female readers find empowerment in the Reverse Harem genre?

Reverse Harem (RH) is one woman being with multiple men (a minimum of three at least). With many of the new Reverse Harem series that are releasing (and what I myself write) is to show that women are strong, powerful and don’t always need protection from a man (or men).

It seems to some people, especially in the RH genre, they believe that when a woman is in a relationship with multiple men, she’s a slave or submissive. In RH, that isn’t the case. It's a relationship, the same way with just one single individual. I find in RH, the main woman is amazing in just balancing herself among her men. Some RH have up to nine men, so you can see how hard it may be to juggle.

Regardless, female readers should read and see that it's okay to love and that with love comes challenges--some that will be harder than others--but with those challenges the love or lovers in your life will help you overcome them.
