Perhaps the writer is always male because she thinks male writers are a good fantasy?

[lassarina]

Maybe? I don't know. But I can think of at least 3 of her novels right off the top of my head that featured a male writer, and none that had a female writer (though she does do female painters.)

[a_leprechaun]

Hum. Mayhap being a female writer herself, she finds writing about female writers boring or too familiar a territory?

Idunno. I speculate.

Fairy tale inspired stories count as original since they are out of copyright and I mention this because more stories where Swansong came from wouldn't go amiss!

[lassarina]

I will keep that in mind! :)

Have you by chance read Juliet Marillier's "Daughter of the Forest"? I think you would like it.

[rinoamog]

Indeed yes, I have!

Authoritative blue balls?

(Not sure if I used that word in the right context, but it's at least spelled correctly. :P)
