Trying to add to the list, it's difficult as so many great authors have been mentioned.

Thanks for all the input, peeps! I will continue to keep an eye on this thread in the coming months.
Hunh. Would never have guessed she was a "she". (I mean, that is why you do the initials thing.)

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

I suspect that's exactly why she does it, especially writing in the mil SF field as she does.
Historically that was why CS Friedman started out writing sf as 'CS' before going with her actual name Celia much much later.
Also amusingly, there is at least one well known author writing urban fantasy under a female nom-de-plume because someone told him that would sell better.
Not the Andrewses.... they're honest about the Ilona thing being a pen name even tho it is silly given how honest about it they are about it. ...i'll try to remember/track down who it was.

Are you thinking of Daniel Abraham's series that he puts out under M.L.N. Hanover?

You're thinking of the author of Vampire Humper: 8==D.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Not sure. Of course there's always KJ Parker / Tom Holt.
