First things first: here in the Palms Universe, there is a new addition -- a Palms Baby! Little Willa Evelyn Harwood has arrived. You can see some pics of her and geek out with me here on Facebook. Fatherhood? It's absolutely awesome and amazing. You already knew that? Yeah, I know you did.

What's more, in less than a week, Thomas & Mercer releases YOUNG JUNIUS and THIS IS LIFE -- both on Feb 19. Depending on how you look at it, either your faves are now out for you to read, share with your friends and review online, OR they're back from a new publisher to jump all over the Amazon charts. Either way, they'll be here soon! Snap 'em up, tell your friends, review, all that goodness!

I'll be back on Tuesday to give you more news and touch base, but for now here is Richie Narvaez giving you his new story "Ibarra Goes Down" from CrimeWAV! Click here to download or listen to "Ibarra Goes Down." Enjoy it!

Pen Names

Submitted by nathaniel on Wed, 11/05/2008 - 01:02
It was mentioned in another thread how Charles Ardai (real name) writes under the name Richard Aleas, and I think another pen name of his was mentioned in the CrimeWAV podcast, though I'm not sure. I was wondering, from an author's perspective, what goes into a pen name, and why choose to use one? I remember hearing in a Dragon*Con panel from this year (one I missed but listened to the mp3 later) that Seth had considered a pen name because he had previous experience under his real name, but decided he did want to keep using his pen name. What are some of the potential reasons for using a pen name, and what are some pros and cons?
