#WritersCoffeeClub Do you write under a pseudonym?
I used a pseudonym originally for two novelettes I wrote for GW Books in 1990. (Didn't want to be pegged as a Warhammer writer.)
Considered re-using that pseudonym for the Merchant Princes novels, but in the end agent and editor convinced me it'd be better to use my own name. As it turned out, they were right (when my own 'nym's sales via another imprint rose, so did everything. I'd have missed out on the boost if I'd segregated my work.)
