I'm sure this is somewhere here, but I can't find it. How do folks handle authors who use multiple names depending on the type of book? For example, Ann Maxwell (sort of SF) is also Elizabeth Lowell (mystery/romance). If it is an Ann Maxwell book I still want to know other name is Elizabeth Lowell, but I want to differentiate between this and multiple different authors for a book. I tried Ann Maxwell aka Elizabeth Lowell, but then EL doesn't show up under authors. I've been using tags, but that is getting out of hand - also tried a user field "notes", but it is used so seldom that it just takes up space on the screen.

Thanks for any help.
