How did Lemoney get started? Does he have his own website for
questions. I have a few questions to ask him regarding writing and
how he decided on the whole series thing.
TN our miracleman do you know?

You can buy this book about the author:

Millions of readers of the New York Times best-selling A Series of Unfortunate Events have been asking the same questions: Who is Lemony Snicket? Why has his face never been captured on film? Why is he so obsessed with three unlucky orphans and a woman named Beatrice? Why is he sought after by authorities, feared by associates, avoided by friends?

Finally, here is the definitive -- and only -- book for anyone interested in learning more about the alarmingly elusive author.

Is Merrill( I hope I spelled it correctly, I hate it when people spell my name wrong) signing "I love you" orrrrr "Bullsh...?"
I'll probably take a look at the book. But I don't think I'll get an answer to my question, it is....
If an author uses a different name eg. Lemony Snicket instead of Daniel Handler" does he or the person have to copywrite that name, go through the legal process or does the publisher assist with such things.
That was my question.

Thanks TN

The actual author of the books is Daniel Handler like Tommy said but Lemony Snicket is infact a fictional charcater that belongs to the stories themselves... I think anyway :?
