I think the only reason I would is if I wrote in a completely different genre.

Re publication - I suspect I'd use my real name .. but shortening it to Butcher .. I definitely would not like .. we'll have to wait and see!! I'm looking forward to Saturday .. <br /><br />Some people have the most odd names - so I'm not surprised they changed them ... and are now famous in that right .. <br /><br />Cheers - have a happy week ..
