Happens a lot in books. A lot of writers use pseudonyms because people wouldn't buy the book in a specific genre if it was written by a man/woman. If they are surprised by this then they haven't been in the book scene all that long and any criticism that they have can be written off.

Breaking news: Book authors change their names to better sell books.

Wait, did I say breaking news? I meant news from 2000 years ago.

Mola's novels are known for being graphic and gory, usually centering around the character of detective Elena Blanco, whom publisher Penguin Random House describes as a "peculiar and lonely woman" and a lover of "grappa, karaoke, collectors' cars and sex in SUVs." The Woman's Institute selected Mola's work as part of a selection of "feminist reading" in 2020.--- That's rich, Feminists love gory stuff and sex in SUVS. One of them calling them scammers? Women use male pseudonyms all the time, as do some book by committee publishers I believe. They've just been made the fool, acknowledging how good these men's work is and are reaching. this is rich.
