Yep. And style. If I've got hard SF and someone else writes space-prince-and-princess... We're in full agreement.

Yes, I'd use different pen names. They can be very similar (John Smith v. John X. Smith) but keep them separate for Amazon's algorithms.

That’s how I was, I just decided to try it out and keep the pen name as a heroic fantasy only and see how it worked coaxing the algorithms. So I’d recommend it.

You guys have more experience, but to play devil's advocate, using a pen name when switching genres sounds like an analog mindset holdover from legacy pub. @Jonspach & @NickColeBooks have said author names don't move the algorithm needle, & Nick always uses his real name.

I did it purely as an experiment to see what would happen & from my own experience it seemed to help as opposed to continuing under my own name. I haven’t sold as many books as Nick but I’m inclined to think I had a wider swath of genres under the David J. West banner too.
