Alternative Pen Names

Pen names and initials

So I don't know if you've noticed or not, but a lot of authors use pen names or just have cool initials in their names. My name: Tim Routledge can be hard to pronounce. So I came up with some alternative names I could use. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

T.L. Routledge (First and second initial)

Timothy Lawrence (Middle name for a last name)

Timothy L. Routledge (Middle initial)

Tim Lawrence (Shortened with middle name)

Tim L. Routledge (Shortened with middle initial)

Let me know which is your favorite in the comments!

God bless,

Big Changes Coming!

"Cha-cha-cha-cha-changes!" - David Bowie That's right, change is coming.  As most of you already know, my book series: The Archangel Series written by Tim Routledge is a self-published series. However, after October those books will be unpublished.

From there on, it gets easier - trust me. But that first line, that's all you. Just remember, everyone struggles with the beginning.  4 - Writing: I don't know ...
