My author dashboard is now becoming increasingly cluttered with duplicate book records, while my new ten-book series, The Lantern & Quill Mysteries, is still not appearing correctly.
Could a librarian please:
Merge the duplicate author profile into author ID 17359169, retaining that established profile as the primary author record. Ensure that my Goodreads Author Program claim and author dashboard are attached to author ID 17359169. Move or correctly attribute all books presently attached to author ID 70343686 to the established profile. Combine true duplicate book records and editions without deleting or losing any existing ratings, reviews, shelves, or reader activity. Confirm when the author-profile repair has been completed so that the Lantern & Quill series can then be created and organized correctly.
I am not requesting that legitimate Kindle, paperback, or hardcover editions be deleted. They should be combined under the appropriate work where applicable. The principal problem is that my catalog appears to be divided between two author identities.
I will refrain from making any additional catalog edits while this request is being reviewed.
Thank you very much for helping me straighten this out.
I believe I have now identified the underlying problem. There appear to be two separate Goodreads author records for me, K. J. McGillick:
Established author profile that should be retained as the primary profile:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
New duplicate author profile that appears to have been created or claimed:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
