Unreal... a Sharon McCain wrote a quilting book. Looks like I will have to be inventive or do as B.R. Stateham and other crimespace members suggested and use my initials. Back to the drawing board.

Edward,<br />
Thank you for the Rollins analogy. I just googled Sharon Kane and as it turns out she is a children's book author, obviously a mistake on my fledgling part. Back to the drawing board. I could have sworn I checked it out. Duh! Sugar Kane and some other names are beginning to look good to me. I have to change my name again on crimespace. Crimespace has already become a valuable tool for me.<br />
Thank you for saving me from a lawsuit!<br />

Sharon,<br />
Many writers use a pseudonym for different reasons. You are the only one who can determine (and possibly your publisher or agent) what name to publish your work under. Some writers prefer to use a pseudonym to maintain their privacy, others because they feel their last name is either "clunky" or seems to be in contrast with the genre they choose to write in.....Sharon Kane is a good, solid sounding name and if you feel comfortable using that name as your nom de plume then go for it.The…

As an example I am a long time fan of James Rollins. In fact, when he was still working as a veterenarian in Sacramento I believe he worked on my dog... another story... At any rate his real name is not James Rollins...Recently I ordered a book on Amazon by James K. Rollins. When I received the book I realized that this James Rollins was not the author I had been expecting. The problem I see here is that an author is using a published authors name to promote his book....Now it is possible that James K Rollins is not a pseudonynm , at any rate you can see where this might lead to confusion and even legal action in the future. ....By the way, the book by James K. Rollins was actually very good......Ed H.

My brother is in the TV/movie industry. He feels all publicity is good publicity and mentioned that I would never be mistaken for a porn star, however, it might upset my eighty-one year old mother. I'm still thinking it out. Thanks again Dana.

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