I was still thinking, "hmm, I dunno" so I went to their web page and sure enough it was a woman. I also get the feeling that they're trying to hide their gender when they don't give a first name, just two initials and a last name.

Man, don't I know it. It really shouldn't be so difficult to find and support gay novels by gay authors.
