I largely use my real name all over the web, and it´s caused me trouble. A guy googled me DURING a job interview and got a profile on some site or other where I waxed lyrical about how much I hate ad sales. Guess what the job was.

I´ve also had a bit of trouble in the few vague attempts I´ve made to approach agents. I´m coming to the conclusion I´ll have to publish under a pen name, which is kind of sad.
