2 reasons, I know this is probably ridiculous, but mostly as a female author I didn't want people to think - woman author...probably mostly sloppy and romantic stuff. I know when I started reading Raymond Feist's work so many years ago I remember thinking at the time how nearly all the authors I liked to read were male. Feist, Tolkein, King, Maclean, Innis, Bagley, Grisham, Clancy, Smith. I actually ended up cutting a couple of scenes that were too close to erotica because that just isn't the type of books I want to write. So I have had comments that my books are quite violent in places, and they are not really girlie books. Other than that, most of my friends just call me Dan or Dani, so I stuck with Dan. (My husband calls me sweetchums but I thought that might look silly on the cover .)
