Donna Taylor asked Holly Brown:

How come you are using a pen name now?

Holly Brown Hi, Donna! I'm very prolific, and the traditional publishers like HarperCollins tend to only put out a book a year. So in order to keep up with my output but also to diversify the kinds of books I write, a pen name makes strategic and creative sense. For example, HOW FAR SHE'S COME is my next book from Harper, which comes out in May, and it represents a new direction for me that I hope to continue. Meanwhile, under my pen name, I'm able to write other types of books. So far, it's going well but it's a relatively new arrangement for me. Feel free to check back in a year! :)
Thanks for noticing, and for asking!
