Author Q & A 
Author pseudonyms?
Informal survey -- how many of you all read books by your favorite authors under pseudonyms -- i.e., how many who are Ruth Rendell fans also read Barbara Vine; how many Elizabeth Peters fans also read her numerous books under other names? How many of us will pick up a book by the same author with a different main character? Leaving out Agatha Christie, who is a special case and possibly should be left out entirely. Who are some other authors and their pseudonyms? Who's that famous guy that has about 10? Oh, yeah, Ed McBain, Evan Hunter, et alia. Anybody read all his different ones (obviously, I haven't read any, as far as I know).
I'm new at this so I can't reference other messages or anything, but I'll be checking back!
