Pen names

Help! I can't see a good way to record authors who use pen names.

(I can't find any forum that addresses this problem. If there is a relevant forum, please point me in that direction)

Example: The author's full name is Margaret Astrid Lindholm Ogden
She writes under four different pen names, of which I have ebooks she has written under the pen names Megan Lindholm and Robin Hobb.

When I look up her data on the Internet Speculative Fiction database (www.isfdb.org), they list all books by the author, and separately list all books written using each pen name.

Can anyone suggest the best way to achieve similar functionality from Calibre? (I can't misuse the Series field, as she has written series using both pennames)

---

FYI Similar to the pen name, is the house name (or house pseudonym) where a publisher gets several different authors to write stories (usually in a series) using the same pen name. Since these, IMHO, tend to be hack writing, I doubt if I own many of them, so I don't see this as so much of a problem.
