Name frustration...

Okay, you know that aggravated feeling you get when your guy/girl calls you the wrong name?
Well, this isn't at all like that...

My book, Phoenix Rising is out now. I'm so proud!
To attempt to avoid confusion for folks, as there is another Lisa Morgan published out there (more than 1, I'm sure) I authored Phoenix Rising (and everything that comes after it) as Lisa C. Morgan.

Now, the logical soul would say "Hey! Great idea! This will make it easier!"

The logical soul, in a perfect world, would be correct. This, however, is cyberspace- the "other" Final Frontier.

Phoenix Rising is not currently listed on my author page due to the letter "C".

Cookie Monster RAVED about the letter C, and in fact, there are many many items of great import that come to my mind when I think of that letter:

coffee
coffee's cousin- cocoa
coffee's cousin that no one talks about- chai tea

but, apparently, "C" cannot be considered among the great institutions when using it, albeit due to your actual middle name, when you wish to discern yourself.

I had a fantastic author name all picked out before I published a thing. It rocked (in my own mind anyway) but as I toyed with it, I decided it sounded more like either
(1) a stripper name- and god bless 'em...if I had it, I'd put myself through college, too
or
(2) a potential superhero

while a superhero name probably wouldn't have hurt, I scratched it off the list.

I then developed another and was as committed to it as The Preacher's pregnant daughter...but when it came time to publish, silly me, I thought I'd just use my own boring name.

In conclusion (if you are still awake) Please note that I have been published as BOTH Lisa Morgan (in a fantastic anthology collection!) and as Lisa C. Morgan (my own self published book, books, will be books...what's the plural usage here?)

have a fantastic evening folks!
