@SoRedTheRose I see, do you have any examples?
@f0x ps :) Sorry, I usually provide references and don't just claim xyz, but I'm semi-procrastinating here because my eyes have grown css-tired for the night and if it weren't for my growling stomach, I'd already be heading to bed. -_o
@f0x Here's a massive list of pen names (in general) to browse http://www.scifi.darkroastedblend.com/2007/08/authors-pseudonyms.html
Readers' gender bias is still very prevalent in the spec fic genre, sadly. (in others too, but this seems to be the worst?) -even though indie pub is slowly changing things, somewhat. But I guess as long as research shows that male/ambiguous author names sell better, the bias will prevail.
