Judy Penz Sheluk
Hi John, I am SO sorry for the delay on this. I did not receive a notification and just now saw it.
To answer:
No. My legal name is Judy (not Judith, I was named after Judy Garland) maiden name Penz, married Mik Sheluk.
I chose to use my real name because I had a magazine publishing history and hoped that would bring some folks to my book, especially in the antiques community.
I think for pseudonym, it depends. If you want anonymity (for whatever reason) or a fresh start or separation from another work, then I think it's a great way to go.
