I got married and have decided to take on my husband's last name. My author name will remain Lena Kovadlo, so any newly published books will be under that name.
I am wondering though if I have to change my last name on all the websites I am writing for, including the website I am publishing my books through, and on my Google AdSense and Amazon Associates accounts. Any ideas?

Online on social media and in my books I’m always Lena Kovadlo.

@porwest I think celebrities do not change their name from their known celebrity name but officially they may change it when they get married.

@lovebuglena Imagine if in Hollywood, they changed their names? Some of them would be known by 100 different ones. lol
Provided there won't be any issues with payment.@lovebuglena (47988)

The pen name would definitely remain the same but the account name would probably need to be changed and I think I did that.

In my country we don´t use our husband´s last name. We remain with our maiden´s name. So I have no ideas.

It's up to you.
If it will interfere with your payment then you should - if not, then its your choice?

You can if you still like to. I don't know how it all works otherwise.

I don't think you would need to make changes unless you want to.
