It depends on what you want to be known for and whether or not you intend to increase the heat for future books.

My two cents: if you move into a Mature Audience/erotica level you may consider a pen name as the one we discussed two years ago- KD.

Otherwise be you.

Those who want to read what you’ve already written will, and those who won’t won’t. You have plenty of room to grow in followers. Find a lane and “sweet spot” for the majority of your readers and books you love to write and deliver what you/they want.

You have a unique ability to take the heat as high as you want AND tell an awesome story around it. Not everyone is that skilled.

Step into the role you want and wear whatever name you want proudly.
