By releasing the book under a pen name and THEN letting her identity be revealed, it provides the book a chance at being taken more seriously as a good read rather than just a piggy-backing effort.
If she openly released the book with her name attached, it would instantly be compared to her past successes and receive false praise or scrutiny based on her achievements as a fantasy writer.
