Pen names

I finished reading another book and when I finished it I went on to read the brief About the Author at the end.  It was well written.
No wait, not the About the Author section, but the book itself was well written.
No wait,  I didn't mean the About the Author section wasn't well written.  That was fine.  I meant I was pleasantly surprised the newbie author of the book had done so well and the book seemed so polished.
The end section didn't say too much about the author except that Lily Everett (the author) was a pseudonym for a best-selling author.
A-Ha!  This wasn't a newbie author.  It was written by a best-selling author under a different name.  And I wondered why for one moment.  And then I realized there seems to be a trend of authors using a pen name lately.  J.K Rowling of the Harry Potter fame recently wrote a mystery under the name of Robert Galbraith.   Nora Roberts writes under the name of J.D. Robb for her In Death series.  Stephen King wrote some early books under the name of Richard Bachman.  I found out Lily Everett is really Louisa Edwards, if that is her real name.  How are we to know?  All of these books, all of these authors, and so many different names.
So I finished that book and went to post it as finished on my Goodreads.com site.  (I do that so it will give me recommendations for new books based on what I've read). I noticed someone named Paige had 'liked' one of my reviews and I thought what a very nice name she had.  I really liked her name.
I started thinking about all these authors and how I could use that name as a pseudonym.  But, I would need a last name to go with it.  It took me all of an instant and the last name Turner flashed into my mind.  Turner.  Good last name.  Right?  Turner.  I could write using the name...Paige Turner. You get it, right?  Paige Turner.
It was at that moment that I realized I've managed to turn into my father with all his corny jokes!  That wasn't exactly what I was going for.  Pa-dum-dum.
