Adding a book using a pen name

The pen name should be the primary author. An author page will automatically be created upon adding the book. If you wish, you can add your actual name as a secondary author to the book. The book will then appear on your author page as well. Some stuff, such as combining and setting the default, cannot be done from your author page.You could claim the pen name page by using a different email address and password than your current one. You would then have control over both pages.
Hope this is clear :)



I have a book I'd like to add - but it's using my pen name. Do I have to set up a dummy account for the other me, as it were, in order to do this? I know I can add books to the database but I'd like to be the owner of this book (if that makes sense?)
Can you offer advice on the best way to go about this?
