I have quite a few, mostly because publishers have, at different times, objected to my real name. Objections include-

sounds female (I am female)
sounds middle-aged (I am middle aged)
not a selling name (Oh. I sold books under it for years before being told that.)
sounds WASP. (I am WASP)

So - my pseudonyms imply, variously, that I am young, male and ethnic.

A pseudonym means false name and it's use is wider than that of a pen name which only refers to authorial work. So which are you asking about? And what makes you think anyone would want to tell? (smile).

heavily, I in reality %. up a e book if it looks pleasing. i gained't even understand the author's call till many years later even as i'm staring blankly on the canopy, attempting to save in recommendations what the e book became about. i wager there are those who pay extra interest than me(LOL) so i actually discover L.G Smith a sturdy call. For all they understand, "L" can stand for Lucy or Lucas. :) If it were me searching up a pen call(which I ought to do quickly adequate), i'd seem into some thing unisex and catchy. i have heard of a pen call like "Levon Lovelock" (L-eh-von). nonetheless to this present day, I even do not understand if this author is a guy or lady. :P sturdy success.

sure...I use both...some submissions I do through pseudonyms most of those are collaborations where we don't want a list of 20 names and such...I also use this *root* name so much that a lot of people just call me that instead of my real name *happens to a lot of people actually :)*...as far as the actual names go you'll have to guess what they are ;)
