Location: Middle TN, USA		As a proud feminist, this challenge shames me each year by making me aware of how very few women authors I read each year. I would like to use the excuse that this is a male dominated genre, but again, the site clearly proves that is not the case. I have only read 26 books total by women authors and am going to struggle to complete 12 female genre authors this year. Now to be fair to myself, several of the short stories I am reading for the tor.com challenge are by women authors, but I'm not counting those. I also have a hate/hate relationship with fantasy, and for some reason women authors tend to slide I that direction. I really am pathetic in this category. Anyway I digress, I just finished Viper Wine by Hermione Eyre (That CAN NOT be her real name!) and it was incredibly good in a very different way. I recommend it if your looking for something interesting to read.
