Angus The page at https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... appears to group together works by multiple authors named Colin McIntyre. The two titles:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

are by the same author (Colin Ian McIntyre, 1927-2012), and might deserve their own author page. The other titles on this page are by one or more other authors with the same name.

The work:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

is marked as "Unknown Author". This should also be attributed to the same Colin McIntyre who wrote the two books above, and should be included on his author page.

To confirm Colin McIntyre as the author of this title if necessary, please compare:

https://openlibrary.org/books/OL11412...

and:

https://www.amazon.com/practical-guid...

Finally, the title:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

was also written by Colin McIntyre under the pseudonym Brad Stephen. I don't know if it would be appropriate to group that with his other titles, or if Goodreads prefers to keep pseudonymous works separate.

Thank you for considering this request.

Shim Cleaned up, let me know if anything else should be moved.

Pseudonym page can be left alone. If you want the author pages could be linked via a note in the description, though you would need to provide a source to confirm the connection.

Angus Thank you.

Unfortunately, the only source I can offer is myself: I'm Colin McIntyre's son, so I know which books he wrote. There are also clues in the text of the pseudonymously-authored book that point to him as the author, but explaining all that probably requires going into more detail than it really merits.

Thanks again for your help.

Shim Cleaned up, and moved the profile off the default so it would stop getting random books added to it. (There seems to be a relatively prolific "author" making what looks like AI-generated content using the same name.)

Linked the Brad Stephen profile to the Colin McIntyre one.

Do you want to add a bio, biographical data (birthdate, location of birth etc) or a picture? Note for the author picture we'd need explicit permission for use on Goodreads from the copyright holder.
