My reason for choosing and using a pen name is quite simple. I hope to make a name for myself as a fiction writer and my real name is French and difficult to pronounce. My first name is Robert and my mother's maiden name is Pickering (a nice easily pronounced anglo name), hence Bob Pickering. It also is fitting that my uncle (my mother's only sibling). who I idolized, was also named Bob Pickering, so the name has sentimental value as well.
