It's probably what the publisher wants.

I know there are some differences in this case, but a lot of the time, a publisher will insist that an author adopt a different penname if he or she writes something in a different genre. So, for example, Daniel Abraham writes under three names: one for fantasy, one for sci-fi, and one for YA, and that's because Orbit wanted him to.

It's a marketing thing. The logic is that people who, say, hate fantasy but love mystery might be put off a mystery novel that's written by an author known for writing fantasy. It sounds stupid, but people really do make those kind of associations. It's like how they had to market the original 'Die Hard' very, very carefully because when they first tested the trailers, people laughed -- they couldn't buy Bruce Willis as an action hero since they only knew him from Moonlighting.
