When I read this yesterday, my first thought was to wonder if this was any of our lovely British authors.
(from a bookshop in London)
(Im an author doing a book signing in a shop. Im female with an obviously female name. The name is also on the book. Theres also a large poster with my name and photo on.)
Customer: Whens he going to get here?
Me: Who?
Customer: The author.
Me: Im the author.
Customer: But, youre a woman.
Me: Yes.
Customer: Oh, I get it. Youre one of them pseudonym things.

Hee - I have to say, I aspire to playing that scene.
Considering the rather brawny nature of my writing, I've actually been using the fact that I am a woman as a bit of a marketing theme; there's a powerful emotional core, but the number of battle scenes precludes me from a pretty romance novel cover, I'm reasonably certain.
Love the story, Rowan - and you've got me wondering too!!
