It is disappointing not to use my own name, but I'll chalk this up to another adventure in publishing.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-21458534261395672062021-07-12T13:00:08.797-04:002021-07-12T13:00:08.797-04:00Congratulations, Shari, on your new series.

LOL. The recognition of what I've been able to accomplish is reward enough. So if I had to switch names, the recognition of my work would disappear.

I do like the distance a pen name gives me from my other series, and I think Meri has some surprises up her sleeve.
