was the author a gay man? because as a gay man, if i was a writer, everything would be focused on men, with female characters having little to no role in the story

I get your point - but then, some of my favorite showrunners and TV writers are gay men and write awesome female characters.

and no, I think the author is straight (he was married and is dating lots of women and his alter ego in the book only has straight sex and straight desire), but the character loves working with men, looks up to men, has more male friends, fights for the respect of men etc. etc.
