okay, so: Pseudonymous Bosch is the nom de plume of Raphael Simon (you can check wikipedia for proof, if you want).

my question: what's the standard practice for indicating a link between the two author profiles?

lethe | 16359 comments Since he has claimed the pseudonym profile and does not mention his real name there, I would not mention his pseudonym on his real name profile.

I don't think there is a standard practice. I suppose it depends on whether the author wishes the connection to be known.

... although I do see the link mentioned on the cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

could the example of how j.k. rowling's pseudonym (robert galbraith) was indicated to be her on galbraith's author page--and conversely, on the author page with her ~standard authorial name (j.k. rowling) serve as a guideline in this instance?

if you're confused at all by my wording, please do let me know--i feel like i could have phrased this more clearly!
