I've Always Wanted a Pseudonym...

...Which is why Lara Zeises , aka Lola Douglas , a fellow writer in the GCC not only impresses but kinda fascinates me.


Lara and Lola EACH have a book that's come out this fall. Each people. Do you know what that means? That means this woman and her doppleganger are intensely prolific and popular people and one of them doesn't even really exist! So. Not. Fair.The book written by "Lara," ANYONE BUT YOU, is a YA novel with this kicky premise: Seattle and Critter have always been best friends. But what happens when they find themselves talking to anyone but each other? The book written by "Lola," TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A HOLLYWOOD STARLET, focuses on teen star Morgan Carter. Turn out Morgan's mom is trying to kill her! (That's gotta be a blow to one's self-esteem, that's all I'm saying...) Anyway, at least that's what Morgan thinks when she's sent to Ft.Wayne, Indiana after a near overdose outside LA's Viper Room. Morgan's going to recover out of the spotlight.Way out. She's given a major make-under, a new name, and a completely different identity. Morgan's plan? To write a tell-all book about her experience and stage a comeback. But when this LA girl finds love and a new life in Middle America, will she abandon it for another shot at superstardom?

But let's for a minute get to some of the praise that Anyone But You has received. Kirkus, which is well known for giving some of the bitchiest reviews this side of Curtis Sittenfeld, said it had “Pitch-perfect narration.” TEEN PEOPLE chose it as one of their Top 10 books, a 2006 Best Books for Young Adults Nominee. And as a writer of teen pop myself, I can tell you this makes me very jealous of this person who may or may not be real... Okay, no, Lara's the real one... or is it Lola? Well, my suggestion is that you pick up both of these books and decide for yourself which alter ego you like better and then go with that one.

And from this point forth, you may also think of me as Renee. Unless you've already been doing that, in which case call me Ishmael.
