How often have you gone searching the bookstores because you heard that a favorite author had a new book out, and you can’t find it? And then someone says “Oh, she wrote that under her OTHER name.” Or you comment on a great similarity between the writing styles of Annie Author and Wendy Writer, and hear back “Well, of course -- they’re the same person!” Yep, we’re talking aliases - aka’s - pen names - pseudonyms - nom de plumes. The bane of readers trying to locate all the works of their favorite writers.
