Mine would be James Gabriel. Can't help but wonder would Gabriel Jameson be better?
Do you need a pen name? Why?

Its the joke that goes around the internet on how to choose your pen name. One simply takes their middle name and the name of the road they live in and voila your pen name.

Gabriel Auchentoshan would be even better.
P.S. Instead of pen name, how about porn name (first pet, first street)? In my case, Betsy Descotils...

As a professional, you, are your one and only asset. Without integrity you are worthless, but with it, you are priceless.

We have to consider the subject or theme of the books that are issued under a pen name. It could be a necessity to protect one's family. Pen names have been used to protect the identity in many political cases, but it is not the only scenario, what if a psychiatric is a psychic? He or she might endanger his or her own work without the shield of a pen name.
