[AccessD] Normalizing issue

Great catch, Charlotte. Once I sold six articles to a single publication and
all appeared in a single issue! The in-house rule was that only two articles
by a single author could appear in any given issue, so I had to manufacture
two pen names. For one I stuck with my initials (Adrian Fischer) and for the
other I borrowed a name from one of my fave novels, Tom Pynchon's V -- Evan
Godolphin. LOL! I haven't thought about that for twenty years! Thanks for
the memories!

Since it's a writer's database, a separate *table* for pen names makes a
lot of sense.  Some writers use multiple pen names, so creating a
pseudonym table is the safest way to handle that and relate it to the
writer's actual name.  You could always use the real name as the default
when filling in a pen name.
