Why not, when in the US, all men are women by merely saying they are.

Har har har...

Let the wailing and kvetching of the snowflake segment of Mola’s fan-base begin.

And when asked how they write women so well, they replied, “I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.”.

Would have been more awesome if they were written by 3 men and a baby.

a female crime writer brings in lots of readers....its no wonder they had a "her" as the writer....its the money....

opposite of the theme behind the old "Remington Steel" show where a very good female private detective couldn't get any business until she changed the name of her company to a male name....Remington.

Ellery, meet Carmen.

(Ellery was only two guys, though).

Yeah, Ellery Queen was the first non-person I thought of after reading the title. Today’s culture is so into identity politics authors should just do multiple layered pen names and completely cover their potential readership base from every conceivable gender fluid angle.

Women buy more books than men, especially in mystery category. This is probably why they chose a female pen name.

Bahahahahahahaha!

Actually police procedurals sell better if they are written by men, cozys sell better if they are written by women.

The reverse of George Eliot, the 19th-century British writer, whose novels were written by a woman.

Elena Ferrante also doesn’t exist. My money is on Domenico Standone whose wite has Translated (supposedly) Ferrnate’s books. He’s a prize winning author himself and after reading a couple of his books, I’m sure he’s Elena.

With the world-wide war on white men, I can see why they want to be known as women. Of course some may actually be trans persons too.

I don’t know if cozys are romance novels, but I do know Stacy Abrams used to write them and she could very well be three men, maybe five.
