I don't read a lot...You've got me thinking. I don't read a lot of romance so I've never been a Nora Roberts fan. When she started writing the In Death mystery series as JD Robb, Nora's true identity was kept pretty much under wraps. I started reading the series and loved it. By the time, her publisher revealed the "Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb", I was already hooked on the series. (I don't remember when, they dropped Nora's name and went back to just JD Robb.) But I find myself wondering now, if Nora's name had been there in the beginning, would I had even tried the series or if her name was so linked in my mind with romance, I would have past it by. I honestly don't know.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-44826867078457577482015-03-11T11:48:30.320-04:002015-03-11T11:48:30.320-04:00Now I can't wait to learn your new secret iden...Now I can't wait to learn your new secret identity!

You've certainly given me lots to think about, Bethany. Thanks for the push to turn up the heat under my pen name! marjoriespages.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716248432611467520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-4946729840587897382015-03-11T10:46:43.507-04:002015-03-11T10:46:43.507-04:00First, hello Stiletto Gang, where i was once a mem...First, hello Stiletto Gang, where i was once a member of this lovely group! I think you've nailed it, Bethany--with the changes in publishing--some good, some not so good--authors are welcome to adapt too. Maybe we have to. And that's it exactly, "writing as..." is code for "don't expect a Laura Spinella women's fiction novel here!" Although I do think the cover of Ruby Ink helps me out a tad! Thank you for reading and for the shout out! I'll let you know how it all works out! XOLaura Spinellahttp://www.ljwilson.comnoreply@blogger.com
