<p>I&#8217;ve been pondering self-publishing my fiction books under my real name, but at the last minute I wasn&#8217;t so sure after all: wouldn&#8217;t people looking for autism non-fiction books be confused by my horror slash romance slash paranormal books? Would they approve? Wouldn&#8217;t it make things more difficult for them to find the right books, the autism ones?</p>
<p>I know people in need of autism information are not dumb, but <a title="Nathalie Hamidi's Books on Amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/author/nathaliehamidi">I just want to make it easy on them to get to the books they need</a>. Most of them are parents of autistic children, they deserve to be cut some slack and be taken care of.</p>
<p>Also, I am not making a secret of my fiction pen name: <a title="Irma Geddon" href="http://irmageddon.com/">Irma Geddon</a>, so if any of them wants to try reading my fiction books in english, that&#8217;s more than fine by me.</p>
<p>I probably won&#8217;t use another pen name if I cross fiction genres. I know people who read are well-educated and can make their own decision about the genres they want to read. As I doubt I&#8217;ll write middle grade, children or young adult books, that should be fine.</p>
