Moniker question?

[Sharon Mckane]

Newbie and fledgling writer here. I know, double whammy. You might want to control your laughter on this question. I've been debating, with myself, about my moniker. I'm thinking I should drop my maiden name, May, and drop the Mc in McKane and leave my name short and sweet... Sharon Kane.

 

What are your thoughts?

Thanks... Sharon

That sounds good. It'll make reviewing your stuff easier - because I know some newspaper reviewers who won't do authors with more than two syllables in their last name because it's too much effort to type!

[Lindy Cameron]

Sharon Kane - great name for a crime writer.
Jessica - that's one of the silliest things I've ever heard!

[Sharon Mckane]

Thank you Lindy, that's what I thought.

[Jessica]

You thought what I said was one of the silliest things you've ever heard?

[Sharon Mckane]

No. I thought Sharon Kane was a great name for a crime writer, until the porno queen popped up later.
My knowledge about newspaper reviewers is zero to none, therefore, I didn't know how to respond to you.

How about: JustaMoniker

[Sharon Mckane]

I've given your suggestion some thought and I'm leaning towards... Moniker Kane. :-)

[Dana King]

Sharon Kane is easily remembered and sounds like a crime writer's name. I like it.

[Sharon Mckane]

Thank you. I thought it might fly, but now that moniker is in the ointment, so to speak.

[Albert Tucher]

Something I've learned the hard way, Sharon: google it first. The first few hits are for a porn star.

[Dana King]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[Jon Loomis]

Har. Indeed.
