Books Quote by Rotimi Ogunjobi
““What makes an author write under a different name ? Well, some may actually be criminals on the run, looking to make a bit of money within their tough fly-by-night schedule. Some may be ashamed of what they have written and loathe to be publicly linked to it.Some having become lost in their world of make-believe may have actually forgotten whom they are and probably decided that any name was as good as another. I think though that there may be as many reasons for this as there are authors who practise this sinister act.””
