Whoa!

So i finally got around to starting on the ebooks i got for the Hugo Nominations. I picked one out kind of randomly, "Feed" by Mira Grant. I got through the cover blurb, and then got to the usual page listing what else she's done, which after a book or two had "Writing as Seanan McGuire", aka my favorite filk artist/writer! I have no idea why she's using a pen name given that she's already got another successful book series under her real name. I'm both very surprised and very happy to find out she's been nominated for a Hugo. And if not for that then who know how long it would have taken me to get around to checking her wikipedia page and notice there was another series by her that i wasn't seeing in the bookstore or Audible when checking under her regular name?
