For #1, I think the term "architectural remnant" made me lean toward guessing man, #2 "her scream shocked her" and for some reason, the term "fiery pain" made me think woman, #3 "hobbled like a wild beast" sounded like something a man would use, #4 was a total guess, but it sounded more like a woman than a man and #5 was definitely the reference to the birthday -- for some reason it doesn't feel like a man would say that. I'll see if I can find a good excerpt or two and email you. Thanks, that was fun!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-2266885585792007392007-08-12T00:13:00.000-04:002007-08-12T00:13:00.000-04:00Okay: not counting the anons who didn't guess for ...Okay: not counting the anons who didn't guess for all of them, seems like most people correctly thought John Sandford's quote was from a man.<BR/><BR/>Most thought Laura Lippman's excerpt was written by a man. (Hmmm..wonder what she thinks about that?)<BR/><BR/>Just about a split in right/wrong on Katzenbach, and same for O'Connell.<BR/><BR/>And almost everyone figured Alafair Burke was a woman. <BR/>(I think it as the birthday thing, don't you?<BR/><BR/>So what do you think about this?<BR/><BR/>Send us your excerpts for next week!Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-64806273426091766872007-08-12T00:04:00.000-04:002007-08-12T00:04:00.000-04:00Yes, Lisa!

Very astute..but tell us more. Did you guess? Did you know? Why did you choose what you chose?<BR/><BR/>Hmm..that gives me an idea.
