Say for ex. you wanted to sign your real name for publishing medical research information ect.
but wanted a pen name for romance novels.
Do some authors publish their works in two different names for according to the catagory of writing?

Yes this happens
There was a known psychologist who published his official papers under his real name and his occult books under a pseudonym.
And plenty of book writers publish their books under pseudonyms because the publishers think that the pseudonym name is more neutral and thus more sellable than their ethnic sounding last name.

I'd like Neil Gaiman to meet Roald Dahl. They both have a spark of originality and wittiness. If they were ever to create a collaboration I would read it without a second though. I'd also love to add Tim Burton in the mix to make the movie. I think they would get along fairly well. Both seem to be average blokes from Britain, so I don't see how it could go wrong. Next I'd be interested in introducing Stephen King to Stephenie Meyer. As most people probably know, King has publicly insulted Meyer's writing. It'd be interesting to see them argue it out. I'm not a fan of one or the other, so watching them tear each others books apart would be a great experience. I also think it'd be amusing to see Jane Austen's reaction upon meeting any of the current young adult authors (let's just say Annette Curtis Klause). I think she'd look at Klause's book with an expression of dumbfoundedness. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but it seems like we base our perceptions of an author's personality based on their books and characters. I wonder if in some cases this is completely off.

Andre Norton is a female. She wrote science fiction and I believe history in a different name. She did it because female writers did not write science fiction.
If you think romance novels might discredit your medical research then I would consider it. I believe one of the Romance writers was a man but I can't tell you which. I don't read much romance.

Yes! How about Mark Twain and Samuel Clemens.
Lots of women writers write romance novels under one name and everything else under another.

Yes. For example - Nora Roberts writes under two names: Nora Roberts for her romance novels and J.D. Robb for her mystery novels.

Certainly. I am trying to think of an exa,ple, but I can't. But, it has been done. I know that Stephen King's son used another name until he was an accomplished author in his own right.

Yes, actually.
Lain Banks writes sci-fi and nonfiction, but when he writes sci-fi, he publishes as Lain M Banks.
