There is, somewhere, a support group for folks whose names are celebrity monikers. The idea is that people in that situation — “Hi, I’m Stephen King.” “Oh, give me a break.” — should be able to find solace and understanding among folks who suffer the same coincidental affliction.
I read about this organization a few years back and can’t find a trace of it anywhere on the Internet. (If you can send me a link, please do.) I so recall that, within the larger group are sub-groups — the George Bush group, the Michael Jackson group, the Charles Manson group, and of course, the Stephen King group.
A famous name might be just a nuisance for some, but for aspiring novelists, hoping to build platforms and brands, it’s more than that.
How about you? Was your name taken before you had a chance to publish? In other words, were you famous for the wrong reasons before you even came to bat? Let’s hear from you.
