Interesting! I can see the merit of using a pen name for switching genres. Recently I noticed that Beth O’Leary had a new release. I’ve read The Switch and loved it…plus I’ve seen many favorable reviews of Flat Share…..so I requested an ARC of her new book expecting a romcom. I was greatly disappointed and ended up DNFing the book and apologizing to the tour organizer. I did write a post featuring the book so I could fulfill my end of the bargain. But the whole reason I got in this predicament is because of the author’s name! Maybe using a pen name would have been good for her because lots of readers were really surprised by their reading experience!
