Allonymously

In a manner involving the use of another person's actual name as a false attribution; under an allonym.

Etymology

From allonymous + -ly suffix. Standard adverbial formation from the adjective allonymous.

Kelly Says

When a book is published allonymously, it's hiding under someone else's real identity—a literary trick that's technically different from being anonymous or using a pseudonym.
