Introducing My New Pen Name and Writing Progress

The Second Wife’s Story is coming together, but I had to quit working on it for a couple of months. I’m now two months now, but I’m back on track and working on a second biography as well. There’s so much to tell, and I’m so excited to share my progress with you!

Many of you know me personally and many others have known me by my birthname on Facebook and other social media sites. Here on WordPress, I have gone by Too Many Hats for too many years. Some of those hats have come off so it’s now time to change, not just my profile name, but my pen-name as well.

I chose my pen-name many, many years ago, when I decided that someday I would become a writer of books. That someday has been a long time in coming, so the name change is finally underway.

I began looking into that name on Facebook about a month ago–just to see how many individuals might be affected by my choice and just a couple of weeks later a profile with that very name showed up as a friend request. This was very suspicious to me at the moment, so I immediately blocked the request. I was concerned that someone, or some-thing, was trying to take over my professional identity. Since then, I have realized that it was most likely a Facebook generated suggestion and not an attempt to steal anything. I’ve since tried to figure out how to unblock the suggestion so I can send an apologetic friend request, but to no avail.

I thought I’d better go public soon, anyway, so at least my readers won’t get as confused as I am. I hope this helps. You may see me here on WordPress and on other social media by both my given name and Mari K. Flowers, an English variation on my given name. Either way it’s still me, and you will be seeing much more of both of me in the near future!
