    It was a long time ago, but I'm almost certain that there was a lawsuit, just as I'm sure there would be if I were to begin writing under the name J. Michael Connelly. Names have some protection, and even though I'd be no real threat to the real Connelly, I doubt that he would think he could let it pass.
