Delighted to be of assistance, Judy.

The story about the genesis of "Harrison" rings a bell, though I remember her 
making a strong point about gender suppositions in relation to writers, too; 
she enjoyed giving online readers something to chew on. 

Always an interesting question, the gender of writing. 

But then I've always been a fan of effeminate men and muscular women.
