Author Pseudonyms | A Rose By Any Other Name


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

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




S.J. Harper is the writing team of Samantha Sommersby and Jeanne C. Stein


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!!!
