People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

I think she meant someone like Stephen king using a less famous name to mask who he was. I think, you know we do share a brain but I could be wrong  and lmao I know! Same with the Hardy Boys books. It kind of killed it for me. I am reading this book now about all the women who wrote Nancy and it's just so depressing to me lol

You're right, and it was Stephen King lol I bought the book he wrote just before Carrie under his pseudonym.

yay! I think I read the Longest Mile by him under the name Richard Bachman but it's been awhile. If that was what it's name was. Now I can't remember. It was about the race where if you stopped walking they'd shoot you lol

Dean Koontz does that too but it's been years since I worked at a bookstore when I used to know a lot more of these authors. I'm determined that there are really only seven authors in the world and they just keep writing under different pen names.

My other pen name is Guitargirl! :P J/K!!!!!

Yeah, Nora Roberts (i know i'm predictable in my fave author, oh well) has an alter ego who writes the creepiest, goriest futuristic suspense. it's awesome!! JD Robb and the In Death series is intense, but it's amazing how intricately she's created the future world and I devour those books, too.

I bet she just got tired of writing the same old romances lol Her JD Robb books sometimes gave me nightmares in high school
