Ah, the copyright page. tanaise and I have been known to play a game called, "Who's Marion Zimmer Bradley this time?"

Yeah. That's one thing that sorta bugged me about this whole thing, aside from the dishonesty. If the publisher is trying to create a persona for this writer as a brilliant debut author and a new voice or what-the-hell-ever they're trying to do, it's sort of stupid, because anyone who can read the copyright page and navigate their way through Google can find out that it's a big fat lie.
