Hard-boiled fiction, also known as noir fiction, includes gritty, graphic crime stories with deeply conflicted characters. Her third short story &quot;Hard Bite&quot; won a Spinetingler Magazine award, greatly increasing her exposure. This success allowed her to be more open with her work going forward. If you are considering creating a pen name, Ash says, know that it&#39;s a lot of work to maintain this separate persona. Be sure you have a good reason, such as risking personal relationships, when you establish a pen name.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-97/Elaine-Ash-on-Establishing-Her-Pen-Name_2C00_-Anonymous_2D00_9.mp3">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Elaine-Ash-on-Establishing-Her-Pen-Name_2C00_-Anonymous_2D00_9.mp3</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, podcast</div>
