IMHO some of these are quite elegant, but they seem to have the advantage over those who use their given names. Google research: "But one of the most common reasons authors write under aliases is because their earlier works bombed". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mervyn Lobo <[email protected]> asks: "E. DeSouza, So how many of your earlier works bombed?Mervyn" Mervin: I post under my real name. I was given at birth four names which I thought was rather excessive so I have used one initial and the last name most of the time whenever feasible. You can check my professional profile at LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/egas-desousa-9158859?trk=people-guest_people_search-card To answer your question directly, none of my works "bombed". If you happen to come to Michigan, bring your golf clubs, stop by, we can play nine holes and I will buy you a beer. Cheers, E. DeSousa.
