Have you ever Googled yourself? This is something we authors shouldn’t do, but probably end up doing more than we care to admit. All you do is put your name in (I put quotes around it to narrow the search) and hit search. You will be amazed what you’ll come up with. For instance, there are several Jenna Petersen or Jenna Petersons (I have to put in both since people misspell my last name constantly). One is a massage therapist in the Boston area. She’s very nice. When people send her my email because they put in the wrong spelling, she always forwards it.

Then there’s a little girl who plays volleyball in Idaho, which is such a small world since I grew up in Idaho.

There don’t seem to be any other Jess Michaels, though someone did own that domain before I bought it out from under them a few years back. Whoever she is, she isn’t up to much.

So who do you come up with when you Google yourself? Any interesting doubles running around with your name?
