Probably there will be some members of the forum able to identify me from what we will call a previous life, while others will be like me unable to say who some of the forum members were in their previous life if the have changed their names, so as I like to read novels it made me wonder how many of us can identify famous authors who write books under a different name and if so who, again I am not one who can
You're talking in riddles! I haven't the foggiest what you mean?
Well I wiil try and explain what I mean a simpler way, we all have certain characteristics which identify us, for example my daughter identified me from a distance on a wet day with my hood covering my head by the way I walked, I don't have a limp which would make identification easier it's just simply the way I move, I am not sure whither I move like a panther or plod like an elephant and I didn't ask, so do we have identifieing characteristics in out writing even with a name change with which we can be identified from previous meetings, with some folk yes I can identify them while with others I can't. So as there have been several famous authors who have produced other novels under a different name some people have identified them by certain characteristics in their writing so I wondered if any members of the forum can identify some authors who have done this, I can't say that I ever have done this
You can identifi me from my bad speling and miss use of punctuation
.
And I’m talking the same old **it
Reading books? Who has time to read at this time of year, except for 20 minutes at bed time, and then its something to put me to sleep!

I knew who you were on Plot2plate and on here by the way you write, Curly, but I know nothing about whether you have anything limp (and have no wish to either). At your age...........!!!!
However, I still can't decide whether it was Francis Bacon or Walter Raleigh who wrote Shakespeare's plays. Some nights I can't sleep thinking about it.
Do you know, Curly? You've spent a lot of time in the Library.

JJB I have other ways of getting to sleep rather than reading in bed, and veggie believe me there is absolutely nothing limp about me
Crikey this went off topic fast....!
I often don't recognise people I know when they are stood in front of me, so to ask me to recognise an author under a different name or a forum member under a new signon would be pointless. You all sound the same to me, I read what you write and it's always my voice I hear.
This was written by Admin....or was it Greenleaves?
