Adding new book/pseudonym

[Orland]

Hi, I need to add a book published under a pseudonym. The pseudonym is transparent, I'm only using it to fool the algorithms into not associating my old books with this new dark fantasy. From what I see in old postings, this means listing it under two authors, my pseud and myself, is this correct? I'm not intending to manage multiple author personalities so I want people who look for "Eli Outland" to be able to find me. What do I need to do?

* The Lion and the Scorpion - The Black Order
* Eli Outland (Orland Outland)
* B00AN7G3XI
* Self published
* December 11, 2012
* Ebook
* Dark Fantasy

There are a few options, depending on its publication history. It was published under the pseudonym and ONLY the pseudonym, correct? If so, the options I see are:

1) List it under the pseudonym with no reference to your other name. (Not suggested in this case, as you want them to be linked.)
2) List it with just the pseudonym as author, but with a link on the pseudonym's author profile to your main author profile.
3) Same as 2, but also list your other name as the second author on the book's page.

Thanks, I'll go with Option 2 please :) So there should be no problem identifying myself as the author once it's posted as a Goodreads book with my invisible twin "Eli" as the author?

If you mean stating that it's your book, no problem at all. If you mean claiming the author profile, you would need a second GR account (with a different email address) to do that.

Thanks, can you post here when the book is added please?

If another librarian doesn't get to this request sooner, I can add the book in a few hours.
