I call my novels Manlove.

Hmm ... echoes of the "Boys Love", shounen-ai, in the Manga part of the bookstore.

'Boys Love' sounds too close to underage fic. I'm into changing the female buying public's perception of M/M erotic romances written for them. It enjoys a gay readership as well, and both should feel comfortable looking for it and asking for it.
