I considered using a pseudonym for Wife of Freedom, because it's experimental and off-genre and non-commercial and just plain different than what I otherwise write. (Same for Adventure of Anna the Great, for that matter.)
I finally decided to go with my own name because it's about quirky characters and mixes in humor in a way that's common to what I do everywhere.
There is a down side to it. People who read my first two books and are turned off by the melodrama aspects may not give my mysteries a try. But I think time will shake that out. Soon I'll have more mystery than melodrama out there, and reviews and word of mouth make a difference. (I am a fan of a lot of authors who write several different kinds of books.)
And I'm working to "brand" my various series with different cover styles. I'm still working on the book descriptions.
