Many of today's hottest romance and romantic suspense authors wrote for Harlequin, Silhouette, Kismet, Candlelight, Gallen, McFadden, and Loveswept, among others. However, they didn't all use the names they're using now. You may already know that Sandra Brown wrote under the names Erin St. Clair and Rachel Ryan, but did you know she also wrote under the name Laura Jordan?
Two titles I know of were written for the Gallen line:
* The Silken Web, and
* Hidden Fires.
I'm still looking to see if she wrote under than name for anyone else :)
Diana Palmer also has had several pseudonyms, and she wrote several romances for the McFadden line of books, which is currently very difficult to find.
Her other names:
* Diana Blayne
* Katy Curry
* Susan Kyle
If you're a fan of the Dark Shadows series by Marilyn Ross, you might be interested in knowing that author's pseudonyms (and guess what, it's a guy). Marilyn Ross is W.E. Daniel Ross:
* Leslie Ames
* Marilyn Carter
* Ann Gilmer
* Miriam Leslie
* Diana Randall
* Ellen Randolph
* Clarissa Ross
* Dan Ross
* Jane Rossiter
* Rose Williams
If you follow Elizabeth Lowell, you probably know she has also written under the name Ann Maxwell, as well as A.E. Maxwell. But did you know she wrote under the name Annalise Sun? :)
Other pseudonyms you may be interested in:
* Kay Hooper=Kay Robbins
* Sara Orwig-Daisy Logan
* Lindsay McKenna=Eileen Nauman, Beth Brooks
* Joan Hohl=Amii Lorin, Paula Roberts
* Rachel Lindsay=Rozella Lake, Roumelia Lane, Janey Scott
* Jayne Ann Krentz=Jayne Taylor, Jayne Bentley, Jayne Castle, Amanda Glass, Amanda Quick, Stephanie James
* Barbara Delinsky=Billie Douglass, Bonnie Drake
* Marion Chesney=Jennie Tremaine, Ann Fairfax, Helen Crampton, Marion Chesney Gibbons, M.C. Beaton
* Janet Evanovich=Steffie Hall
These authors may have other pseudonyms I haven't found yet.
Of course, there are tons of other authors I haven't mentioned. If you're interested in one that isn't here, email me your question and I'll check my references.
