Leon de Kock VS Leon de Kock

There is something I have to clear up rather quickly, and that is a bit of ambiguity with the name Leon de Kock.
That is quite a common name in South Africa. So common, in fact, that there are two writers sharing the same name. Myself, and, strangely, a guy called Leon de Kock. Now you would never have guessed that, would you?
So, to clear things up. Leon de Kock, the other Leon de Kock, that is, wrote a few books, one called Bad Sex, and some others. He also seems to have co-authored a book called Triomf. And that, I’m afraid, is where the problem crept in on Goodreads.
Here is my problem, and I ask that you please understand this. ANYBODY can add a book title to my name, and I have to keep on checking to see which book titles have been added to my profile, because books like Bad Sex, which was not written by me, keeps on being added to my profile. There is a way of getting that book off my name, but users keep on adding it again. So please note, I did not write Bad Sex, and I take neither Blame nor Honour for it.
Then there is the book Triomf, which, because Leon is not the outright author on that one, I cannot seem to get off my profile no matter what I do. So once again, please note that I did not write and was not involved in the writing of Triomf.
So how can my readers know which books I’ve written?
At the moment, I have the following books available: Hordes, Story of Enchantment, Dream World and Dream School. However since I am currently writing some more, it would be best for my readers to visit my website at http://www.leondekock.com to get up to date information.
I hope this post cleared up the problem with the two author’s names, because I don’t want to be sued for having Leon’s books under my profile.
And with that said, enjoy my books, and enjoy Leon de Kock’s books as well.
