Pseudo-Named And Shamed
(I’m an author doing a book signing in a shop. I’m female with an obviously female name. The name is also on the book. There’s also a large poster with my name and photo on.)
Customer: “When’s he going to get here?”
Me: “Who?”
Customer: “The author.”
Me: “I’m the author.”
Customer: “But, you’re a woman.”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “Oh, I get it. You’re one of them pseudonym things.”
