It's got to be incredibly hard to break into the literary field and sell books, and in all due honesty, and that's just the way I roll a lot of times despite whether it's against good judgement, but the author name you picked to use sucks. It would normally suck anyway but it exceptionally sucks because half the globe attaches the word orange to Trump. You are going to pick a blah name with no appeal at all, no attachment of excitement, adventure, mystery or intrigue, picking one people have an emotional attachment to, and dislike of someone certainly isn't going to help. Even Joe Blow would have been a better pick. Joe Monero, Joe Casino, Joe DuSex, anything to create an imagination, an air of adventure, wonderment, something, but Joe Orange is about as blah as it gets.
