It’s hilarious, warm and smart. And I’m a guy!

My two cents.

I’ve never heard of it happening in the literary area, but that’s not to say it doesn’t. I couldn’t find your cover to compare — send the link if you get a chance.

Anyone know of other stock photo covers displayed on two different books?

I know several men who’ve been forced to (or chosen to) take female names. This has always disturbed me because it seems like reverse sexism. I think this doesn’t give enough credit to readers. It would be an interesting undercover project to see if this is happening.

I know that men do already write under female pseudonyms, but under what circumstances? When they’re writing in so-called female genres, such as romance. Or cozy mysteries. I doubt that there’s much out there, in terms of more mainstream work (is that code for “literary” ? — maybe), where a man would hide behind a woman’s identity. Can you think of examples? I’d be happy to be proved wrong about this.
