Do any of y'all use a pseudonym and if so, why? I'm considering it and wonder if it's worth the hassle.

It's not about hiding. It's about distinguishing between genres and at least in my case, using a name my mother didn't choose for me.If you're using it to hide from your peers, just know that there is always a chance that some will find out. Unless you jump through lots of legal hoops, the copyright will still be in your name. Also, if you want to make any money off this at all, you gotta market it somehow, which is hard to do if you gonna Clark Kent your way through the novel business. Don't publish anything you wouldn't want people to know about.
I use a psuedonym, but it's not much a way to hide, it's really just a separation.
