Identity Crisis & New Names!

Hey! Hi! It's been a... while.

In the last email I sent out, (to those of you who were with me before this whole rebranding situation) I believe I was at that point considering whether to go with a pen name for my fiction author endeavors.

Update: I made a decision (as you likely can tell).

Best. Decision. Ever.

I feel so...free. Quite literally, I feel like a new person. I don't have to worry about my family finding me, people in real life knowing who I am, unless I want them to, or anything else! I had started a thread on Threads (haha) about this some time last December, and got hundreds of answers from authors letting me know what the pen name was the best way to go.

In fact, some authors who published under their given names expressed regret that they hadn't chosen to do so under a pen name. I deleted my old account and started fresh with my pen name pretty much right away. Life comes at you fast!

Anyway, new name, who dis?

I'm so looking forward to chatting with you more in the coming months! I've got so much to say! Bye for now, bestie!
