Ailene Frances's Blog

Eileen Sheehan writes

I have been receiving some nice reviews for my books that I've written under this author name of Ailene Frances. I was so new when I started participating in goodreads.com that I created separate accounts. I now question the wisdom in that. My reason for using author names for different genres is to keep the confusion for my readers at a minimum. I have some who do not enjoy paranormal, but like the romance; some who want paranormal but nothing scary and then some who want a few thrills. By using different author names, those who follow me immediately know what type of book it is. Ailene Frances is straight romance with no paranormal and I have a goodreads.com account for that name while my primary (and real name) of Eileen Sheehan writes paranormal with a different goodreads.com account. Yet, if you search Eileen Sheehan at an online bookseller like amazon, ALL of my author names come up. So, now the question is how to make that happen on goodreads.com, if it is even possible. I guess this is a good lesson in doing your research before you just dive into something :)
