When the proofs of my first publication were forthcoming and reaching decision became pressing, choosing my publishing name was not nearly so convoluted as I had built it up to be.
Though my maiden name is as unique as they come, my husband is a huge part of my work and why I am able to create what I do. His last name is the one with which I have decided to publish, and my maiden name will be assembled in an unmistakable set of initials. This representation, I have decided, adequately honors all in my family while keeping my title reasonably concise and fairly recognizable while avoiding the logistical nightmare of separating legal and publishing names.
