Ema (emastimpy) | 99 comments I looked through some threads, but I couldn't find an answer. So, I have this Romanian author who wrote a book under the pseudonym Sega, but his book appears under "author" SEGA and I can't figure it out how to make a separate profile for him. This is his only book.
Can somebody explain to me how to do it?
Thank you!

❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) Unfortunately the database doesn't have any way to differentiate between authors using the same single name. For authors with first/last we can use spaces between the names - one name doesn't give us this option. :(

Just a thought - what about putting a full stop after the second Sega's name? I think this will allow it to be listed as a seperate author name.
