There are some things I'd like to write but I doubt my family and friends would see me the same way if they read any of it. It's not erotica exactly, but I'm thinking of including sex and masturbation in my novels (in enough detail that I'd rather not face my friends/family after they read it). There are also some other aspects that I'd rather my family and friends didn't read about, seeing as my family is fairly religious.
I know authors need to promote their books, so how do I do this under a pseudonym? I've thought about just doing all my promotion in places that my family won't go to, but the issue is the internet; even if I pretend to be someone else, people are bound to recognise my picture, especially if I ever gain some measure of success. All it would take is one person to go running to my family for them to discover I've written these books, and when they read them... *blush* :S
So... um... yeah? Haha
