Goodreads advice needed

Hello my friends! I have tried several times to update my author profile here on Goodreads. Unfortunately, every time I hit "Save", nothing happens and I am stuck with the old profile that was written two books ago.

Can anybody advise me on what to do to make the change permanent? Thank you!

Praise for Editors

Quality editing is important for quality writing. I have been fortunate to work with some great ones, a couple I have actually referred to as being part of my team.

Today, I want to recognize some "members" of that team and heartily recommend them if you're looking for a great editor. Here they are in no particular order:

Dennis W. Doty, Grant Hudson, Kerri Jesmer, and David Bowmore.

If you would like to see examples of their work, just visit my Amazon Author page:
