How do you feel about them? Personally, I am happy to use my own name, and in fact would prefer to. But what about when you want to write in multiple genres?
Is it wise then to use a different pen name for each genre, or use your name for everything and hope that readers don’t get confused?
What about quite closely related genres like science-fiction and fantasy? Would you use a same name for them, or different?
How do you come up with pen names? I, for example, don’t have a middle name so I am pretty much stuck with first and last name. I may use my maiden name for something, and married name for another but that’s about it.
To come up with a name entirely different just feels weird because my name is very much a part of my identity.
What are your opinions, views? Do you intend to use pen names in your writing?
