Nowhere, man
Back in the day (before Bookscan) I published three hardcover YA novels with Houghton Mifflin. They got good reviews, one went to paperback, but negligible sales. Now, 20+ years later, I've written another one. I've also finished an adult novel and a mystery novel.

My agent and I are torn about whether to market these new books under a pseudonym (or three different names).

I'd like to get the opinion of other agents as to whether my previous credits would be a help or a hindrance in getting new book deals.
