Authors often try to keep their pen names secret, like Stephen King did with Richard Bachman for many years. But not always. Others wear their pen names on their sleeves, like Kristine Kathryn Rusch, who openly writes under a different for each genre of her books. One name for SF, one for romance, one for mystery, etc. In cases like this, it’s strictly a branding issue.
I feel it is time to bifurcate my brands, so I’m launching a new pen name, T. James Logan, to represent my efforts in YA fiction. T. James Logan’s first book will be Night of the Hidden Fang, a rebranding of my novel The Wild Boys, with two more Kickstarted books to follow very soon.

Until circumstances require, the rest of my fiction will still be written under my real name.
