Does anyone know why she writes under both her real name and a pseudonym? (And can anyone source that Madeleine = Sophie? Not that I doubt it so much as I'd like to read it.) Melissa Della 19:25, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I've answered my own question from the Barnes & Noble page which says, 'In an interview with her publisher, Kinsella reveals her true identity: "My secret is out! That's right, I'm really Madeleine Wickham. In fact I've written several books under that name. But when I had the idea for the first Shopaholic book, I knew I wanted it to be really different. So in order not to confuse my British audience, I took a pseudonym. Of course, I had no idea that Sophie would become so huge!"' Unfortunately, there's no link to the actual interview.
