Writing under a different name
Mickey Finn:
And then there's Caine original name...Roxanne Longstreet, before she met Kat Conrad. (Her husband.)
I didn't know the Keeper series was goofball...I'll have to check it out.
terroja:
My real name sucks. So I write under TL Kincaid.
Guardian 452:
I read an interview with Rachel Caine/Roxanne Longstreet Conrad online last year. She was asked specifically why she chose to go with a pseudonym.
Her answer had to do with her previous books. She apparently did a lot of conventions and was getting tired of being asked to chair panels on the future of vampire fiction.
Apparently she's best known for her own vampire novels, and it seemed writing anything non-vampire (like the Weather Warden series) would work against her, hence the name change.

Kincaid? Like on purpose!?!
My name's ridiculously long, and I've never been uber comfortable with my first name, so my plan was to use my mother's maiden name. Then my initails would be E.G. rather then D.D. (which is a plus)
casualimp:
Well my last name is always mis-pronounced as flesh so I'm often teased of having a prono star name. I still go by it as I like my name.
