Noticed a new author with books showing in Bookapy, however, don't find that individual listed in the authors listing. Thought Bookapy was just for SOL authors. Anybody know what the deal is?

No, Bookapy is not just for SOL authors. Anybody can submit books on Bookapy for sale. Why would it be restricted to SOL authors?

Some of us use a different author name on Bookapy than on SOL.
I'm S.W. Blayde on Bookapy but Switch Blayde on SOL.

um... your plan to get a fresh start in anonymity on Bookapy may need further consideration. ;-)

It has nothing to do with anonymity. In fact, at the end of the novel's description on Bookapy I say that "S.W. Blayde posts on StoriesOnine as Switch Blayde."
When I decided to publish novels traditionally, I thought Switch Blayde was amateurish so I changed it to S.W. Blayde. When I decided to self-publish I felt the same. Maybe in the back of my mind I didn't want some of my earlier stories to be associated with me as a novelist. Some of my early stories are closer to porn than erotica. But I'm over that, at least on Bookapy.
I was actually worried that the people who know me on SOL wouldn't recognize the name I use on my novels like the OP mentions. But I only maintain one version of each novel so the cover and cover page (e.g., copyright info, books by S.W. Blayde, etc.) are S.W. Blayde.
