Romance alias: activate!

I mentioned a little while back that I had been writing romance and thinking about using my maiden name as an alias for it. Well, I made my first sale under that alias, a short story in the anthology “Snow on the Roof” from Dreamspinner Press. So I am activating my new romance alias (special pseudonym powers: ACTIVATE!) and it now has its own wordpress blog: laylawier.wordpress.com.

Hopefully this is not a terrible idea that will sow only confusion.

I will be making absolutely no secret of the fact that both Laylas are the same person, and I’ll be frequently linking back and forth between the two blogs — Layla M. Wier’s upcoming releases will be linked from the Layla Lawlor blog and vice versa. If it turns out to be simply too hard to keep things straight, I’ll probably end up rolling the two blogs back into one. But in the meantime, the Layla M. Wier blog will pretty much be all romance all the time (with an occasional “oh hey, I sold this other thing as Layla Lawlor”), and this blog will be for everything else.
