lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments You are Mark-twospace-Todd, and if you want to have your books show up on your profile, you must put the two spaces between your first and last names.
I moved the book that you had already added to the database over to yuor profile.
I also added All Plucked Up here:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
It's still pretty empty so if you could provide the info outlined in the following thread I can update the record: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...
You may also wish to remove your email address.

Mark | 9 comments Thanks!

Below is the requested info for each of the two books.

Book One
* Title: Strange Attractors - A Story about Roswell
* Author(s) name: Mark Todd
* ISBN-13: 978-1479385591
* Publisher: Write in the Thick of Things
* Publication date: Oct. 1, 2012
* Format: Trade Paperback
* Description:
Morgan Johanssen is a thirty-something virologist caught between her conscience and work on a secret government project, between childhood tragedy and fear of commitment, and between her loosening grip on sanity and a mysterious child who appears to her in dreams and waking visions. But these are the least of her worries. Morgan doesn?t yet know she?s also caught between past and future, and the actions she?s about to take will determine the fate of life on earth.
* Link to cover on a NON-BOOKSELLER site: http://www.writeinthethick.com

Book Two:
* Title: All Plucked Up: Book Two of the Silverville Saga

* Publisher: Raspberry Creek Books
* Publication date: Dec. 21, 2012

* Description:
Think Indiana Jones meets The Maltese Falcon, except Indy is a young woman, and there’s no falcon, only chickens. And, of course, it takes place in Silverville, where anything is possible. An ordinary Colorado mountain town that may sit on converging ley lines that punch holes in everyday reality, that cause extraordinary coincidences and the occasional UFO sighting. And now … a curse.

Brian Ary | 2 comments Good Day,

May I have the existing title Warning: College Unauthorized linked to Brian Scott Ary's Author Profile?

- Warning: College Unauthorized
- ISBN13: 9781413714340
- Published April 23rd 2004 by PublishAmerica

And if the author byline for Warning: College Unauthorized could include "Brian Scott Ary" instead of the "Brian Ary" that is listed, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

Brian

Catalina | 2066 comments #8: Done. You just need to put space twice between Mark and Todd, instead of 1 space :)


message 10: by Sasha (new)

Sasha Newborn (BirdieQ) | 12 comments I am the publisher of 9780942208108 (Bandanna Books), originally published in 2000. I republished it and would like to add additional information, but on its page I am told that I only have permissions to change the metadata. How do I access it to change the description?


message 11: by Mark (new)

Mark | 9 comments Sorry, yes, of course. I'll try to remember to do that when I add books and list myself next time!

Another question: The book is coming out next month, and the publisher gave me a copy of the cover design. How do I have that added to the entry?

Thanks!
Mark

Sasha, you should create a new edition for the republished version. Don't change the existing record, because that is a record of the original publication.

message 15: by Mark (new)

Mark | 9 comments Forgive me if I'm asking this in the wrong place -- couldn't seem to find this topic anywhere!

I started a Giveaway for a forthcoming book and it went up smoothly. Then I realized I needed to "Edit" the description, so I went in and did. And now it seems to have hung up in getting the Giveaway back "live."

Can you please point me to help?

Giveaways that are edited need to be re-approved by a staff member. Since the relevant staffers don't usually work weekends, I think that means Monday or Tuesday, most likely.

(And you can't find the right thread in this group because librarians have no control over giveaways. The Author Feedback group probably has some similar questions.)
