Yeah. I usually read the authors name on the book and think "Hmmm, Steve sounds like a man's name. I bet they're a man." It's pretty easy, actually. And for the ones that are somewhat ambiguous, there's often a picture of the author on the dust jacket (or whatever the flappy-wraps are called on hardback books) or in the back of a paperback.
In this case? 8 out of 10 on wild guesses.
