Many of today's hottest romance authors wrote for Harlequin, Silhouette, Kismet, Candlelight, Gallen, McFadden, and Loveswept, among others. However, they didn't all use the names they're currently using.

You may already know that Sandra Brown wrote under the names Erin St. Clair and Rachel Ryan, but did you know she also wrote under the name Laura Jordan?
Two titles I know of were written for the Gallen line:
  • The Silken Web, and
  • Hidden Fires.  
I'm still looking to see if she wrote under that name for anyone else :)

Diana Palmer also has had several pseudonyms, and she wrote several romances for the McFadden line of books, which is currently very difficult to find.
Her other names:
  • Diana Blayne
  • Kate Curry
  • Susan Kyle
If you're a fan of the Dark Shadows series by Marilyn Ross, you might be interested in knowing that author's pseudonyms (and guess what, it's a guy). Marilyn Ross is W.E. Daniel Ross:
  • Leslie Ames
  • Marilyn Carter
  • Ann Gilmer
  • Miriam Leslie
  • Diana Randall
  • Ellen Randolph
  • Clarissa Ross
  • Dan Ross
  • Jane Rossiter
  • Rose Williams
If you follow Elizabeth Lowell, you probably know she has also written under the name Ann Maxwell, as well as A.E. Maxwell. But did you know she wrote under the name Annalise Sun? :)
