What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
I live in North Carolina. I'm getting ready to self-publish a Christian book. I did Google and Amazon searches to see if my name (which is very common) came up as an author. Two did. One ironically is an agnostic author and the other is a best selling author and as irony would have it lives in my state. When I publish the book am I OK to use my real name, or can I have legal issues down the road from either of these other two authors who share my name? I'm also a public speaker so a sir name or middle initial is really not feasible. Thank you for any help that you can offer. John
