New name sought

[Steve]

I don't have a great name for a novelist, I'll think I'll change it, any suggestions? ... what about 'Z.X. Killford-Barrington-Steal'?

[G.G.]

Hmm that'd be good if you want to fill a page and not worry about anything else on it.

In other words, I think it's too long. :p

What's wrong with your name? I like it.

[Dawn]

What's in a name? Honestly, I don't give a lot of thought to author's names. I almost assume they are pen names, not real, and thus are just a "tag" for all the books they've authored. Your name right now is perfect, because it's short and easy to remember.

[Karen]

Steve Downes is a perfect name for a novelist. It sounds great. I just imagine telling a friend that I just reviewed the latest Steve Downes. I would like to tell this one day. ;)

[Steve]

you're all so kind when I was letting you be so cruel LOL

Steve Downes (aka Z.X. Killford-Barrington-Steal)

[Jack]

Darn! I had planned on using Steve Downes as my pen name! Oh well, guess I'll look for another one! LOL

[Steve]

LOL go for it ...I've runined it!

[Steve]

... by bad typing (see above)

[Ann]

Lots of people were upset that I won't be using Bisky Scribbles as my name on my book :I

Think everyone underestimates how dark the book is going to be :p

I think your name is fine :p

[Brian]

I think your name is fine. It doesn't make as much sense anymore to have a pen name. This is the information age. If someone really likes your writing then they are probably going to find out what your real name is.

[G.G.]

I have to side up with Brian. In this age, no information stays hidden for long. (And why ruin a nice book cover with a mile long name anyway. :P )
