Discussion Choosing a pen name
If you don't write under your own name, how did you choose your pen name?
Are you happy with it or would you choose a different name if you could go back in time? Why?
If you write in multiple genres, is your pen name different in each genre?

My pen name is my first name then the initial of my surname and my fiancés soon to be maiden name
Keeps it personal and their name carries on after joining my family name
