My new nom de plume
January 19, 2009 9:18 am weddingDue to recent news, my name will be changing a year or so from now. And even though I’m very excited for the reason behind the name change, as well as the hope that I will no longer have to spell out my last name over the phone, I worry that no one will know who Virginia Roberts is.
I mean, it sounds to me like the name of one of those bestseller mystery novels you used to be able to buy at the checkout stand of the grocery store. “Virginia Roberts” — sort of a more polished-sounding female version of “John Smith”. Maybe I’ll become a secret agent!
Either way, when I eventually get around to writing that book, at least people will know how to pronounce it when they ask for it at Barnes and Noble.

Congratulations. What’s Grant going to change his name to? I vote for “Hussein.”
