Pen Name, Non Fiction?

[AroundTheWorld]

I recall Kimber discussing somewhere here using a pen name when writing fiction - reasons to do it, etc.

Does this apply to non-fiction as well?

We are trying to decide if we should publish our book under our real names or under a pen name.

Reason for a pen name: Help us "lay low" in real life.
But.... does that reduce credibility?

Is it better to go with your real name or a pen name when publishing a non-fiction book?
