I don't know anything about Caitlin Kittredge's background, but her short story read like an American trying really hard to write British: let's toss in "bloody," "oi," "bloke," & "tosser" as often as we can & it'll sound British!
A) She's an American
B) Her journal read like that as well. It made me unhappily wary about one of her upcoming books, which is supposed to be set in London.
RE: Iron Kissed
Do you read buymeaclue's journal? She did a review of IK which generated a lot of discussion on the points you raised.
Also I am so very with you on the screwed-up gender issues masquerading as "biology" in the Kitty books. I've heard some people say they like them as adding complexity to the 'werewolf' dynamic, but for me it seemed... well, unbelievable and exploitative.
