Why are you using a pen name?
Well, there are lots of reasons why people use pen names. My own personal reason is that I wanted to have a disconnect between my actual personal life and the even more personal life of writing. Mostly, I'm a teacher by day and my kids were starting to Google me.

Who do you like to read?
