When I was at a conference this past summer, one of the speakers warned all of us wanna be authors to pick a name. It seems he reads many submissions for an anthology and he's noticed that people keep using different variations of their name.
When my late husband, Mike and I married, I assumed I would carry his name for the rest of my life.
Now that I've remarried, what name do I choose? In my personal life, I proudly take my husband's name.
For my writing life, I decided to use the name my parents blessed me with.
Connie (for my Mom) Thompson (for my Dad)
