Author is one of the few trade names without a female version of it at least, I dont think Ive ever heard of an authoress. I like the way a writer can be male or female, big or small, clothed or naked simultaneously revealed and protected by her medium. I like the way an author could be Sadi, writing in between orgasms, giving you story imbued with lust and release, whether you, dear Reader, know it or not.
