Richard Bachman

This is a Stephen King pseudonym.

At the beginning of Stephen King's career, the general view among publishers was that an author was limited to one book per year, since publishing more would be unacceptable to the public. King therefore wanted to write under another name, in order to increase his publication without over-saturating the market for the King "brand". He convinced his publisher, Signet Books, to print these novels under a pseudonym.

In his introduction to The Bachman Books, King states that adopting the nom de plume Bachman was also an attempt to make sense out of his career and try to answer the question of whether his success was due to talent or luck. He says he deliberately released the Bachman novels with as little marketin

Lynn Kurland

Lynn began her writing career at the tender age of five with a series of illustrated novellas entitled Clinton’s Troubles in which the compelling hero found himself in all sorts of . . . well, trouble. She was living in Hawaii at the time and the scope for her imagination (poisoned fish, tropical cliffs, large spiders) was great and poor Clinton bore the brunt of it. After returning to the mainland, her writing gave way to training in classical music and Clinton, who had been felled with arrows, eaten by fish and sent tumbling off cars, was put aside for operatic heroes in tights.

Somehow during high school, in between bouts of Verdi and Rossini, she managed to find time to submerge herself in equal parts Tolkien, Barbara Cartland and Mad Ma

Nelson K. Foley

Nelson K. Foley is in fact my real name, but among family, friends and acquaintances I am better known as Keith Foley. I put that down to my mother (but I have no evidence) who got confused when calling out a name, since my father was also 'Nelson'. What is also interesting is that my name honours a family naval lineage that goes back several generations of 'Nelson' and 'Nelson Trafalgar'. It also sounds better as an author name!

For the lovers of literature, my family tree also includes Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) who was married to my great grandfather's sister. They were all close friends.

I am British by origin, with a background in scientific publishing, and a passion for culture, art and travel. I have lived in and near Amste

When her children were young, Caroline started writing books for young people -- with remarkable results. She began to sell stories to Seventeen magazine and soon after began writing books. Suspense novels are her favorites to read and write. "In a suspense novel, you can count on action."
