           Where does the name Z.Minor come from?

           This is an interesting question for many reasons. However, I will first answer the question about my name and the author’s name I use for my books.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I was given the name Louise Z. Minor at birth. And as we all know, a woman of my age, no, I’m not telling what the number is. After all, age is only a number.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Back to my name, once I married, my last name changed to Louise Z. Pelzl. I’m proud to say I like my last name. With a name like mine, people seem to remember me. I am not sure if it’s me or the name or both. However, I hope this is a good thing. The problem is no one, and I mean no one can pronounce it. I have even had people point out a vowel is missing.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When I started writing, I wanted to use my name, the name I was given. So I am using my middle initial and my maiden name. My husband totally understands. At least he says he does.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Oh, are you wondering what the Z stands for? If there is enough interest, we can discuss the Z at a later time.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           I like to find cute, funny, interesting sayings, which I will pass on from time to time.

           MAKE NEW FRIENDS BUT KEEP THE OLD. ONE IS SILVER, THE OTHER IS GOLD.
