Part muppet and part college faculty member, Brenna Clarke Gray holds a PhD in Canadian Literature while simultaneously holding two cats named Chaucer and Swift. It's a juggling act. Raised in small-town Ontario, Brenna has since been transported by school to the Atlantic provinces and by work to the Vancouver area, where she now lives with her stylish cyclist/webgeek husband and the aforementioned cats. When not posing by day as a forserious academic, she can be found painting her nails and watching Degrassi (through the critical lens of awesomeness). She posts about graphic narratives at Graphixia, and occasionally she remembers to update her own blog, Not That Kind of Doctor.

Male romantic leads in YA novels — you love them, right? Whether you’re Team Edward or Team Jacob (or, like, me, Team Age Appropriate Relationship with Mike Newton), you’ve probably got an opinion on the hunks of the Young Adult section at your library. But, um, have you ever noticed how interchangeable these lovely lads can be? Whether it’s the smoldering risk of a man or the sensitive artist/poet boy-next-door type, they all seem to be fulfilling a role. So let’s talk YA boys… Or maybe let them do the talking themselves.
