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.
