Each book in succession will have a different Pseudonym until finally (hopefully) you have a success. Then you go with that name.

If you wish, at a later date when you have a bit of a following, you might introduce them to some of your earlier works and those pseudonyms, but very carefully.

I would call this the "avoiding the albatross ploy."
