Besides, pen names have been around for a long time so there’s no reason to believe the name on the front of a book anyway.

I think it's because I've had such good experiences reading authors like Mary Higgins Clark, that it's so difficult for me to imagine a male author matching her.

- Latest Review: Of Zots and Xoodles by Zarqnon the Embarrassed
Absolutely! I find romance written by female authors to be more deliberate, and more appealing to my personal tastes. It generally has more nuance, and more build-up that keeps you on the edge of your seat. To me, it feels that with books written by male authors, the romance and intimacy are a secondary thought, and never the main focus. Suffice to say, my romance section is overwhelmingly female.

I read a fantastic book a few year ago, The Signs Preceding of the World by Yuri Herrera, was sure the author was female, only found out the truth much later!
