✏Any anthology, collection etc that has 2 stories or 2 authors (i.e. Deep Kiss Of Winter)

Just confirming -- this is exactly 2, and not 2 or more

Yep, not sure if you still call that an anthology or not lol.

One more question:

Does duo team mean 2 authors using one name, or does it also include a dual authored book?

Either one would be fine :)

Question Jenne,

Tara Sivec published books under the name T.E. Sivec would that count as having a pseudonym?

Yeah it would work :)

Awesome. Thank you!

My question is concerning the pseudo name. Does the book you read need to be written under the pseudo name or just that the author writes under another name as well.

ex. Janet Evanovich aka Steffie Hall would the book need to be authored by Steffie Hall to count?

or Nora Roberts/J.D.Robb?

If the author has one you're good to go no matter which of her/his pseudo name books you're reading :)

So either Nora Roberts or JD Robb would qualify.

excellent Jenne. Thanks.

Jenne -- I'm sorry I know you've answered this and it just isn't seeming to stick.

THe castle books MUST be finished today. That I understand. Can we start an MC challenge #4 book today and if we finish tomorrow it will count for MC 4?

Yep that's cool :)
With this game it's all about when you finish a book unlike SS/SSS.

I just want to clarify on the pseudonym thing, there are lots of authors who don't use their real name when they publish, but they're only publishing under that one assumed name, do those count?

Or is it only a situation as noted: Nora Roberts publishes books and ALSO writes books using JD Robb

It needs to be an author that has books out under 2 different names. Just a pen name isn't enough.

Thanks Jenne

This might help with finding authors. A team mate remembered this link from another group. Pseudonyms

Thanks Ora!

I contributed to that list. YAY me :D

How different do the pseudonyms have to be? Stephen R. Lawhead publishes children's books as Steve Lawhead. Is this acceptable for the task?

It is =]

Thanks!

Would it be a duo if the book has a translator? =D
