Question: Why does Anthony Horowitz use a pen name!.!?
I forgot to ask this on another question!. My favorite author Anthony Horowitz, he wrote Alex Rider and Jason Steed, but why does he have a pen name of M Cooper!? On Wikipedia it states Jason Steed was written by him and on Amazon, why do they do that!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

This question came up on Amazon, someone said it was contract!. Alex Rider was written using one agent and publisher, Jason Steed under another agnet but for a certain time period Anthony Horowitz cant write for another publisher under his own name!. So Fledgling Jason Steed was written under a pen name!. The name came from his favorite car!. Mini Cooper!. The A in the name is for Anthony!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
