I almost did it the other day. I started to sign Demons Prefer Blondes with my more steamier pen name (Arianna Skye). Luckily I caught it and was able to write Ayers instead of Arianna and stick the Sidney in front of it. Then I pulled out Arianna's book to sign and I started to sign Sidney's name. Again, I caught it in time. Doh!<br /><br />Then there's the time I accidentally signed my real name in a book...<br /><br />I have a hard time with two pen names. I don't even want to try it with three of them.

I think next year for RWA nationals we should push for a purple ribbon to mark the bearer as an author with multiple pen names.

It was going to be my "secret vice" but alas I told my sister in my excitement when I sold two books in one day and in her excitement she put it in two local newspapers. Cat was out of the bag. When I changed publishers I decided to write under my very own name. Saves confusion! I admire you folks who can write under multi names and still answer when Husband yells that supper is ready!Carolyn Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704111268464382004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-28341670578145074082011-07-18T11:10:39.489-04:002011-07-18T11:10:39.489-04:00Well, Joanne, since you asked-- I have an antholog...Well, Joanne, since you asked-- I have an anthology coming out in a few days--<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0758251092/httpwwwmiamar-20" rel="nofollow">IMPROPER GENTLEMEN</a> with Diane Whiteside and Maggie Robinson.

My lack of passion would shout through my prose, I'm afraid. <br /><br />Now, I'll never say never. If someday a character steps from my subconscious who just happens to lack a reflection or occasionally bays at the moon, and he has a compelling story to tell, I suspect I'll find I'm willing to give him a try.MiaMarlowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027069675291646955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-2810532006272318292011-07-18T10:05:27.726-04:002011-07-18T10:05:27.726-04:00Thanks, Terry.

You had to transition between three pen names, and you did it so amazingly well!<br /><br /> I don't think you lost any of your Emily Bryan fans when you became Mia Marlowe. Kudos! That's a feat to celebrate. And I can't wait until readers get a chance to read Mia Marlowe! They'll absolutely love her and even more fans will come your way!<br /><br />Your career is in high gear and just getting better my dear friend.
