Anyway, to help anyone who is interested in the same solution I attached a picture with an example below for author Nora Roberts who uses two pen names: Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb. You just need to put the appropriate alias in the author field of each book (No need to use multiple aliases per book).
After that I created a user category called alias. Under the alias user category, I created sub-category called NoraRoberts to which I added all the pen names (Nora Roberts and J.D Robb).
Now whenever I click on the sub-category alias.NoraRoberts it returns all the books created by the author no matter what alias was used. If you prefer using the search box, just type "@alias.NoraRoberts:true" in the search box and it will return the same result. You can proceed to do the same steps for other authors.

Thank you, I was adding a column for pseudonym, but this is much easier.
