Hi I found following
Noor, Q. (2003). Leap of Faith: Memoirs of an Unexpected Life. New York: Miramax reference at http://division39.org/pub_reviews_detail.php?book_id=293 (APA section on Psychoanalysis). It does not strike me as correct, either. I wonder if something like following would apply Queen Noor (2003). Leap ... on the assumption that Queen Noor acts as her single name, and one would probably be citing her as "Queen Noor (2003)" or "(Queen Noor, 2003)". Speaking personally, I would not be citing her as "Noor (2003)" or (Noor, 2003), just as one would not cite Queen Elizabeth (were she to write her undoubtedly interesting memoirs) as "Elizabeth (2008)" or "(Elizabeth, 2008)". Reference should probably correspond to citation style. I do not see how one can use names that in fact do not appear in the authorship, as in the other possibilities. Take care Jim James M.

I have a student who is writing a paper about Queen Noor, from a developmental standpoint. My student is using her autobiography (called *Leap of Faith)*, as a reference, and the author is listed in the book as "Queen Noor." Her real name is "Noor Al-Hussein" (or, of course, Lisa Najeeb Halaby). How to cite in the Reference section? Noor, Q. Noor, A. Al-Hussein, N. Halaby, L. N. (a.k.a. Noor, Q.) ??? None of these sounds correct, but Al-Hussein, N. seems the most valid. Yet she didn't cite herself that way in her book. Very strange... How, for example, would Queen Elizabeth be cited if she were ever to do an unexpected thing like write a book?
