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

[Sharon Mckane]

Jon Is that a positive or negative, har?

[Sharon Mckane]

Can it be a good thing, Dana?

[Dana King]

Depends on whether you think all publicity is good publicity.

[Sharon Mckane]

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.

[Sharon Mckane]

Good advice... thank you

[Sharon Mckane]

Thank you Albert. My response to you ended up somewhere else. Definitely a lesson learned.

[Jon Loomis]

It's maybe a bit uncomfortably close to Chelsea Cain.

[Sharon Mckane]

I will take that into consideration, thank you.

[B.R.Stateham]

Keep the Mc. McKane sounds more literary than a simple Kane. And consider going British in that they use their initials and then their last name. S.M. McKane sounds like a writer of hard crime novels.

[Sharon Mckane]

Thank you B.R., you have a good point.

[I. J. Parker]

I feel for you. :) Hang in there. Googling is always a good move. Goes for titles, too.

[Sharon Mckane]

Thank you. I checked my title "Gumshoe Goddess" and it was free and clear. Yippee!
