Since I learned the fine art of making a cut, I figured I will post an answers under the cut and if anybody will want to play one day, they still may :)

So here we go and yes, Jen you have good memory the two books that you mentioned you got spot on.

I got four right. Missed on #4, though.

I had to Google some of the names to see what sex the authors were. Lee is male, M. L. is female, and Ronald Frederick is male.

[dumbledore11214]

Lee Rowan is female my dear so you got five right :)

Who is Ronald Frederick?

[seductivedark]

Ronald Frederick is R. E. Delderfield aka "Also known as: R Delderfield, RiF Delderfield, DelderfieldfRiF, R.F.DELDERFIELD, R.E. Delderfield, R.D. Delderfield, R. F. Delderfeld, Delderfield R. F., Ronald Frederick Delderfield, Р. Ф. Делдерфилд" according to this site. I just like the combination of the names Ronald and Frederick.

This is not a complete answer. Lee - girl or boy, LOL? Not to mention all the initalled persons on your list.

[dumbledore11214]

Sorry dear, Lee - girl, M.L. Rhodes - girl (that author I amused you with :)), Delderfield is a guy.

[seductivedark]

Yeah. Checking again, Lee is a female. The reference to her wife threw me off the first time I browsed.

Oh! Okay, so not quite under the wire, but I assure you I didn't cheat. :)

So how'd I do...

1) Correct (boy)
2) Incorrect (girl, not boy)
3) Correct and... correct! :D
4) Incorrect (girl (with a boy's name, or was she going for a male pen name?), not boy) Also, incorrect in that I've never heard of the book or the author.
5) Correct! (boy) Also, I should have known this one, shouldn't I?
6) Correct (girl) Also correct in that I caught the "plucky girl" bit. \o/
7) Incorrect (boy, not girl)
8) Incorrect (girl, not boy) Though I'm left wondering, is the character speaking male?
9) Correct! (girl) My bones were correct! I knew I knew this book! (Oh, Dorothy Sayers... ♥)

So that's 5 out of 9 correct (practically a 50/50 break; not very impressive). Of the four I got wrong: 3 of them I said man when it was a woman, only 1 in the reverse. Which means... I default towards male? Hmm... Of the 5 I got correct, well I'll throw out the book I recognized, so of the 4 I guessed correctly, 2 were men and 2 were women. So now I'm not sure

[dumbledore11214]

We are not going to throw out the book you recognised lol, we will count it as bonus point. That means nothing except I thought it will be fun, after thinking about male and female writers, you know? And I needed an excuse to send the books to people ;)

By the way you are getting male/male romance books, sorry. I wanted to send them to person who may like them :)

You do know Lee Rowan. Remember brits on ships fanfic which you introduced me too and which became a book Ransom? That is her. The short story I took the quote from is exquisite in my opinion. Her writing is to me how one should write male/male romance. And M.L. Rhodes is another popular writer of male/male genre, but really bad writer if you ask me.

[horridporrid]

Oh, that's Lee Rowan. Hee! I'm better than I knew! :D
