So I tried a new pen name for a while, and decided I didn’t like it.
I realized I didn’t want to cut myself off from all my earlier books. I didn’t want to manage multiple author platforms or social media accounts. I didn’t want to have an authorial split personality. One is hard enough.
I don’t want to be an author brand. I’m a hodgepodge. I want to be a hodgepodge. If my writing is going to bring joy to anybody else, it’s got to bring joy to me too. And if that means going against the grain of conventional marketing wisdom sometimes, so be it.
Anyway, I’m back.
