WHAT!!!  Er, Scott, we do believe that Piers Anthony and John Norman are not
nor were ever women!  (What do you mean "all the authors mentioned"?!)
(Maybe males with male pseudonyms, but not "female with male pseudonyms".)

And then, I know a woman named "Andre"; so who's to say what's a "male"
pseudonym.


"Jason?!  That's a dog's name."
