DID YOU KNOW?

Today I came across some very interesting information that i thought i would share with everybody here at the blog. Alot of people have been posting about books by Meg Cabot, but did you know that her real name is actually Jenny Carroll? So if you are ever looking for a book by her, you should check under both names, because some books, like the Mediator series, have two sets of copies, one under each name. Confusing, i know.

Hi,

Years ago, it was unacceptable for ladies to publish as themselves so they published with a male name.
Eventually, they could publish but they published as Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Jones.
Nora Roberts publishes as J.D. Roberts.
Stephen King publishes as Richard Bachman, I think.
