A Million Little Pen-Names

By Mike Lawson// News // No Comments

James Frey was having trouble publishing anything after his “memoir” was exposed as a fraud. So it looks like he’s turning to a pen-name…or two. According to the New York Post, James Frey may be the never-in-public author John Twelve Hawks – who is already writing the six-part Sci-Fi series under the pen name Pittacus Lore.

Confused yet?

Fry told Page Six:

“I will neither confirm nor deny that I am John Twelve Hawks, Pittacus Lore, or anyone else … I will say that I have done, and I am continuing to do, projects that will come out anonymously or with invented names on them.”

What’s interesting is that James Patterson, Steven King and Michael Chabon have all been rumored to be Hawks as well.
