Meta Prompt
The meta answer could be a sixth theme entry.
As an avid reader, an English major, and a writer and copy editor by trade, I've long thought that the topic of author names would make a splendid meta. Odds are good you'll need to do some Googling, but if you keep the title in mind, the meta shouldn't be too tough. Here's hoping you enjoy it! Nudges to come later in the day (possibly not within the customary two hours; I'm on vacation, after all!).
Yes, of course there will be a relevant prize.
Thanks to Peter Abide and Al Sisti for all their help and encouragement.

- michaelm 🤓12:33 · quasi 2 anni faThe cat is out of the hat! Mucho Googling… Thanks Wendy!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faNot as much Googling as I needed to find somebody ending in a "U"! Thanks for solving!

- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Bob!
- ajk 🤓4:29 · quasi 2 anni faFun stuff, thanks! Lol @ 5D which is a word I use frequently but almost never see the full abbreviation, so it stumped me (people use kD informally). Read the nudge and thought 'yeah, I was doing that but getting nowhere' and then I finally applied it the correct way :D
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faBob Cruise Director is astonished that I actually knew a science term.
- Schmeel 🤓4:54 · quasi 2 anni faGreat puzzle! It took me a couple of minutes to sort out my rights, but then I saw it straight away. Thanks!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faGlad you enjoyed it, Schmeel!
- Laura M 8:09 · quasi 2 anni faNice! I was very confused by 1A though because the pseudonym didn't show up (easily) in Google.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faYes, that is why I specified the years in the clues. In later editions he published it under his real name!
- woozy 🤓8:58 · quasi 2 anni faOh, very charming. And not too obvious.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Woozy!
- Bird Lives 5s · quasi 2 anni faOn the 21st of May, in a nondescript room, A Muggle sat wondering about noms de plume He said to himself once he’d Googled them all, A meta’s a meta, no matter how small.
- Berto 🤓2:40 · quasi 2 anni faWell I learnt something from that! Thank you, Wendy!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faGlad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words!
- emmie 4:05 · quasi 2 anni faSo fun!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThank you!
- DrTom 4s · quasi 2 anni faNice foray into the meta world Miss Wendy! I am ashamed to admit this one gave me some trouble because I went with the First letter of the "real" author's name which gave me nothing, then the pseudonym first letter, nothing. I was trying all kinds of things when I said to myself "Tom if you has "Rights" or "What's Left" or something like that in one of your titles, what would it mean?" Of course then I promptly tried it on the last name of the "pseudo" author and FINALLY, the last of the real name. In truth I did not have to go too far because when I saw the last two letters were SS I thought of the most famous Pen Name I knew of. Turns out I had seen it in a book, I'd even seen it in a Nook, now knowing just where I must look I saw the path and it I took (Oh, am I going to get flagged for "and it I took" ...sentence structure, sentence structure, sentence structure.)
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faGood job, Tom! Thanks for solving!
- Tyrpmom 2s · quasi 2 anni faHow long did it take to find the U?
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThat was the toughest part of the puzzle, believe me!
- kurtalert 🤓3:02 · quasi 2 anni faAwesome! Had to google all of their real names- not a big literature guy, I had no idea a few of these were pen names. Thanks!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Kurt! Believe me, I had to do a lot of Googling myself to find authors whose pseudonyms met the meta needs!
- Mwoychick 9:23 · quasi 2 anni faGreat puzzle - thanks, Wendy! I was stuck for a while because I had "Monk" as the author name instead of Hulse - when I got that part right, it all came together
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThank you, Mark!
- lbray53 2s · quasi 2 anni faStill trying to figure out 1A.
- ReB 4s · quasi 2 anni faC.S. Lewis originally published this book under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk, which was just a couple of years before his death. After his death, the book was republished under Lewis's own name and continues to be so identified up to the present. I was not aware of Lewis's using a pseudonym for this book until this meta.
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faHi Lbray53, I didn't realize that he published it under a pseudonym, either -- but was very glad he did because he gave me another letter I needed. It's also a wonderful book.
- lbray53 2s · quasi 2 anni faGreat puzzle. Hoping for more from you.
- Julie bookworm 🤓8:34 · quasi 2 anni faWow, I got off to the wrong start on 1A because the real author's name fit the length and I has no idea he'd first published pseudonymously! Managed to back up and get the grid correctly without Google, but definitely needed search help on the meta. Great mechanism!
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Julie -- glad you solved!
- HeadinHome 🤓3:32 · quasi 2 anni faso fun! how did I miss this one last week?
- Wendy Walker costruttore · quasi 2 anni faThanks, Wendy! I had two puzzles in a row -- this SSS and the "Postcards From the Edge" MMM the very next day!
