I’ve written before about trying to set up an Alan Conrad email through WordPress, something I gave up on.
But since I long ago stopped hiding the fact that Alan Conrad is a pen name, I’m going to give you a new personal email.
With respect to ‘Alan Conrad’, I’m like Eric Blair who, when he published his first novel Burmese Days in 1934, was required to change his name because his publisher was afraid of offending the British government. But once he got used to his new name, George Orwell, he became fond of it, and used it with all his books.
I only took on ‘Alan Conrad’ to try and keep a low profile in the personal injury claims industry, where I was struggling to survive on temporary contracts. Since I retired in 2012, I’ve had no need of a second identity, but I’ve come to like being Alan Conrad.
So here is a new email whose address combines both names. A warning though – it is not working as a link for me, though WordPress claims the link is okay. If you copy the link and use it as an address in your own email, you will reach me.
Why producing a direct link is so much harder now than it was 10+ years ago is beyond me.
