Comments on: Why I use a pseudonym… https://glendalarke.com/2010/01/why-i-use-pseudonym/ Sat, 13 Mar 2021 10:30:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 By: Jo https://glendalarke.com/2010/01/why-i-use-pseudonym/#comment-20133 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 05:48:22 +0000 #comment-20133 Some of those 8,000 readers of Havenstar would surely search you on the net and find out about your other books, or is that being too hopeful. If I enjoyed a book I would certainly try and find out what else the author had written.

What a very unusual spelling for your name Glenyce, I have never come across that before. I do agree Glenda is a much easier name to spell.

Though I do just think it's a matter of the contract being directed toward the 'legal' name, with a clause re the pseudonym.

I went with L.J. Hayward for published stories because of an urban myth that gender ambiguous names appeal to more readers. Doesn't worry me, but then I'm not most people.

Lisa is rather simple, but just today, when I answered the phone at work, I was greeted with "Hello, Elizabeth." And these days I have to spell it because too often someone will write Liza, Leesa, Leisa, Lesha, Lesah.

Cheers, Leesa… Leisa… Lisa.
