I feel like my reading of this Ramirez series is a bad Monty Python sketch. Every day I find something else I really don’t like but I accept – grudgingly – because I like the characters. Along the way, I seem to have become even more of a grumpy old man than I thought.

On a press with more than one author, what if it’s a single author with more than one pen-name? I know of a few that keep their space opera SF separate from their romance SF by putting them under pennames, though they still use the same “imprint” name.
I find this is more common of those that have been doing it since the early 2010s when the “common wisdom” was to create an imprint to mask the self-published stain. And those are also the authors who have been at it long enough to often have multiple pennames.
Yeah. I keep an eye open for that. I assume that a second name (or even a third) in a completely different genre is probably the nom-de-plume. Especially if the name is a variation like initials in lieu of full name. It’s when their website has a list of “Our Authors” that’s the big give away. I’m particularly sensitive to invitations to “work with us for help with your self publishing” but that’s a different issue. 😀
