Steph (angel4492) | 32309 comments I just found out that Moira Rogers is actually not one, but two people - best friends, Bree & Donna. :D

From their blog: The Official Bio

How do you make a Moira Rogers? Take a former forensic science and nursing student obsessed with paranormal romance and add a computer programmer with a passion for gritty urban fantasy. Toss in a dash of whimsy and a lot of caffeine, and enjoy with a side of chocolate by the light of the full moon.

By day, Bree and Donna are mild-mannered ladies who reside in the Deep South. At night, when their husbands and children are asleep, they combine forces to unleash the product of their fevered imaginations upon the page. To learn more about this romance writing, crime fighting duo, visit their webpage at . (Disclaimer: crime fighting abilities may appear only in the aforementioned fevered imaginations.)

Sandra | 25757 comments LOL, it's always Bree that does all the blogs/newsletters. I didn't put them on the list, as I've been getting the newsletters for years, so I never gave it a thought.

I just never thought about it. Was poking around looking at some books by Moira and realized - hey, two people, not one. LOL! :)

Steph (angel4492) | 32309 comments Read this on Nancy Gideon's website:

Q Why do you write under other names?

A I’m very prolific and have written for several different publishers at one time. Sometimes they’ll ask that you take a pseudonym to separate your work for them from the other houses you’re writing for. Having more than one pen name allows you to get more books out per year and to write in different genres. I’ve written mainly under my own name, but also have published books as Lauren Giddings, Dana Ransom and Rosalyn West. If I publish in YA paranormal or suspense, I may use another pseudonym there, too.

Lauren Giddings ~ Dana Ransom ~ Rosalyn West = Nancy Gideon

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments I know some authors have pseudonyms due to publisher contracts but some choose them to seperate genres so as not to upset their fans. They know the diehard fans will find them, but they don't like a historical fan to pick up their erotica & get shocked enough that they stop reading altogether. :)

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments Caridad Piñeiro is Charity Pineiro when writing contemporary :)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Main list updated through this post. Thanks for all the names everyone.

That Joan Swan was a terror to figure out. I kept getting the children's illustrator (which is what your post connected to also Michelle).

I finally found the right Joan Swan by searching posts for her name, clicking on a bookcover in one of the messages, linking to her from that book. I discovered her name in the author list has 2 spaces between first and last name. Grrrr!!!


message 76: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments Lol, sorry Daffodil. I was on my phone & it keeps eating the links. Thanks for letting me know :)


message 77: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25757 comments Haha I've got a few Joan Swans' Fever (Phoenix Rising, #1) by Joan Swan so I never gave it a thought that there might be a kids illustrator, otherwise I would've linked her for you Daffodil :)

message 81: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25757 comments LOL didn't know Stephanie was in the closet!!! Those Dire Wolves or the MCs would of scared her out surely :)


message 82: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments LOL! It was the MC's that scared her out in the end. Turns out her M/M MC's and her M/F MC series will overlap a little. Which doesn't surprise me, given how much her Romantic Suspense series all overlap. :)

Art (aka Whistler Reads) (art-whistlerreads) | 874 comments Dear Daffodil
Am I ever glad I fell into this thread. I've joined your group to get the notifications and remind me you're here. I'm a BINGE reader...love and always on the lookout for new to me authors and series. I enjoy watching emerging authors growing their skills in wordsmithing, world building, and character development. I will, I am sure, find this thread an invaluable reference source.
My one suggestion might be to alphabetize the toplist...
