Vicki Cline | 15 comments Emma Lathen is the pen name of Mary Jane Latsis and Martha Henissart. Most of "her" books are listed under Emma Lathen, but some editions are listed with author Mary j latsis/m henissart, so they aren't combined with the Lathen editions. How do you enter the real name(s) for authors using pen names? Personally, I'm tempted to change all the Mary J etc entries to Emma Lathen, since that's how you would find them in a book store or library.

Agreed.

Vicki Cline | 15 comments Thanks, Rivka. I am slowly working my way through the Lathen oeuvre, adding descriptions, page numbers and series numbers, and will eventually set up the series. It's a lot of work!
