I don't really care what the gender of my authors are, but I do have more female authors in my Cybook. I tend to read a lot of Fantasy, werewolves and vampires and other things that go bump in the night. Most of those seem to be written by women, or at least the ones i've found.

I read a lot of SciFi and have to admit that most of those books are written by women as well. Anne McCaffrey has a lot to do with that.
Then again, if I want the pants scared off me I'll head over to Podiobooks and grab anything by Scott Sigler!
