Read Rat-Race Escape!
Read Fastlane!
Read Unscripted!
As many know, I've been wanting to write a fiction novel for some time. My first foray into fiction writing was The Great Rat Race Escape which portrayed a struggling family seeking to escape the rat race through business. That book, however, is still classified as "non-fiction" despite the embedded novel.
The question is, would you buy a book written from me that was entirely fiction and NOT business related?
Some of the genres I'm thinking about tackling...
1) Life Wisdom (Think "The Alchemist" or "Tuesdays with Morrie")
2) Mystery Thriller (Think James Patterson)
3) Psychological Thriller (Think Dean Koontz)
4) Spy or Intelligence Agency Stuff
5) Fantasy / Science Fiction (Think Star Wars but something not LOW-IQ)
I'm asking because I'm not sure if I want to create a new penname for these books, or just leverage my existing name which has some partial brand recognition.
My initial thought was to write under my name, and not use a penname.
