I kind of like the first paring, the second is unique but I am not sure...

[Roxanne]

Do any other good names come to mind?

[Irene]

What genre do you mainly write?

[Roxanne]

I write pretty much any genre, but usually darker stuff. The book I'm working on right now is a dark-ish Urban Fantasy. And I write a lot of Horror short stories in my free time.

Ah, well then. *goes of to contemplate*

[Roxanne]

I'd like a last name that has some sort of dark meaning... I'm considering Roxanne Acerbi. It means "heartless" or "harsh" in Italian.

[Roxanne]

I've read online that authors should try to stay away from the beginning of the bookshelf, the end, and near famous authors/ (So no R or M names for sure.)

I'm taking off Acerbi from my list of ideas because it doesn't fit the first name at all. Besides, it's Italian and although it sounds cool, I don't have any Italian ancestors.

My last name is - however - German. So many I should have another German last name...? I'd like to stick with the L because that shelf is very popular.

I've also decided to stick with Roxanne, not a nickname. The reason why is because Roxanne is a unique name added to a common one (Rox + Anne). I'd like to have a last name that gives a similar impression.

Does anyone have any ideas that might fit this criteria? Otherwise, I plan to do some online research (again), and will be posting a whole new list of ideas.

(Roxanne Lyrell is still on the list, by the way.)

Somebody suggested Roxanne Marx in another group, and I really like that one, for multiple reasons, so... I've decided that I'm going to go with that one. Thank you for your help everyone!

I'm not sure what Pen Name,I'll be using but I'd love to get some feedback. Here are the names that I'm considering:

Juliet A. Pierce
Zoe A. Pierce
Peyton Pierce

I'm leaning towards Peyton Pierce. It seems easy to remember and the alliteration entertains me. Haha.
