What's in a Pen Name?
It was a delicate maneuver, tweaking author names in the middle of a published market and I hope readers aren't confused. I wanted to flip the switch now before my new book, "The Pearly Gates Phone Company," hit cyberspace, and it's been a surprisingly smooth transition.
The change is for several reasons, but mainly originality. Have you ever gone through life, realizing you lost your OG? Falling in love, raising kids, getting wrapped up in the world, it's easy to forget who you used to be--that person whose dreams once twinkled on the horizon of a sunny future.
I love my husband and kids, various dogs, plenty of jobs plus all kinds of experiences and accomplishments, making me the woman I've become. But there is something precious and quaint about embracing my former self. The Australia-obsessed '80s girl, the writer and DJ I longed to be. And so I cherish my maiden name in two parts, giving nod to the ancestors who owned it and the one who gave it away.
As you journey through life, keep your arms and hands inside the vehicle at all times. And whatever you do, hang on to yourself for dear life!
