The solution to both is actually to have such a common name that you get lost in the noise. If your first + last gives seven digits of google search results, you have to put in some serious SEO work to appear on even the first ten pages, rendering this vector private by default.

Personally, someone with my name won a Pullitzer, so I'm never going to be on the top page.

Even name + (previous) employers barely finds me, because it's all about using those employers' services in relation to the books. Name + location is about book signings.

The only downside is when my namesake was interviewed on the radio and a) I kind of freaked out a bit when they said Terry Gross was going to talk to me later in the day, and I was totally unprepared, b) it was really weird listening to her introduce me incorrectly, I didn't grow up where she said or anything. Also, people send me pictures of 'my' books when they see them, which is a lot.

I love the relative anonyminity though.
