Vicki, many authors have been published under different names. Do you have anything out under a pen name?

Ooh, good question! And if you haven't, what would be a pen name you'd choose?

Vicki, many authors have been published under different names. Do you have anything out under a pen name? No pen names, alas. I mean, don't you think I'd choose something better than Pettersson, for gosh's sakes? ;D I did ask my editor if she thought I should change or simplify it, but she wasn't bothered and neither was I. If I did have a pen name? Hm. I'd have to use my stripper name. First pet + First street = Shorty Upland. {snort!} OMG, would you pick up that author's book, or what? ;D

Actually... When I first started looking at books, I never looked at the arthur's name until I found out I really liked the book and wanted to read more. It wasn't until people started recommending arthurs did I start looking up names. Still I go do an isle at the local book store and look at the books around the normal books I read. So yeah. I would inadvertently read a book by 'Shorty Upland'. That and if some recommended them to me.

Well Shorty, I think I'll stick to Showgirl. I don't see anything Wrong with the name you use. Pettersson is not all that common. I don't know if you're friends with Faith Hunter, but that name just sounds made up. Like vision quest or something. I'm sure she's very nice and I don;t mean any disrespect(in case she visits here)

OT, but Vampyre, Faith Hunter is actually Gwen Hunter. "Hunter" is her married name and "Faith" is her middle name, if I remember correctly. She used "Faith Hunter" when she branched out into a new series, different than what she'd done before.

OK I don't know anything about her. I was just using her name because it looks like a fake one.

I know what you mean. It does sound made up to go with the books.

There are some author names out there that sure sound like stripper names! *Not mentioning any* But it's a game we play at the bookstore. Does that name belong in a Ricky Martin song?

Lilith Saintcrow.
Any child named Lilith I feel sorry for. Awesome name, not so good on the myth side. Named as the first vampire and also a whore for demons. A loving mother to her children but she would later kill children out of jealousy. XD
Lilith has to be one of my FAVORITE myths. XD

oooh that's too funny. I am laughing so hard I can't type.
For some reason I have a vision of a manly Russian lady stripper with a big hairy mole saying... "I am Nanooshka. You want lap dance now?"
