Now, ive decided to use a diminutive of my pen name, which is pretty comical, because i don't like people shortening to Liz on their own!

My day job is very conservative and some of my stories have those lovely naughty bits.<br />I'd rather not have the conservative portion of my client base declining to use my services because of some of that writing.
