13 Pseudonyms and their Corresponding Authors

by Elisa

Well, I had so many nice folks pop by to admire my Thursday Thirteen last week that I thought I’d do it again this week. This time around, I thought you all might enjoy something a little more informational. Since I was home sick yesterday, I had a little fun with the Biography Resource Center (a database that my library subscribes to) and the results you see before you. One author that I did not add to my list is “Carolyn Keene.” For the record, Ms. Keene is actually a corporate author, and several folks have written under that name over the years. Well, I hope you find my list useful. Enjoy!

    Susan, I’m glad that you liked the list.

    Matthew…well, if you were a regular reader of this site you would not ask that question. Shakespeare is Shakespeare.

    Thanks for stopping by atomicgirl and Nicholas. I’m glad that you liked my list.
