What is in a name?

So Rowan Spence isn't my real name - it's what I have decided to use as my pen name. It's making things a little confusing as I am trying to pull together my old stuff and my new.

So why Rowan Spence? Well, Spence is my maiden name. Although I took my husband's name when we got married for love and social convention - I will always be a Spence (as well as an Addington, a Rizzo, a Neel, a Molloy.... you get the picture)

And Rowan? I've always loved the name. I find it beautiful, magical - and I love the fact it can belong to a man or to a woman.
