There are a number of places online where folks have credited "B.L. Purdom" with writing the Psychic Serpent Series, rather than plain old "Barb", and I have no problem with that. I created my blpurdom LJ, though, to begin to have more of a presence with my real name online, since that's the name I'll be publishing under (if everything goes as planned!). I'm certainly not going to attempt to publish under just "Barb" or "Psychic_Serpent". ;) Since there are a lot of people who already know me as a writer by my real name and seem anxious to see something in the book stores from me, I figure I've got a head start, and this gives you a head start, too. I look forward to seeing a book by R.J. Anderson at my local bookstore!
