Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments I'll edit the book author name for you if that's the only book you published under author name. If more might show up with your maiden name, post back so superlibrarian can merge the two author profiles.

To get a review taken down, do flag (may have to click "see review" to spot "flag" link) it but also contact goodreads staff directly using contact form under help screen at http://www.goodreads.com/about/contac...

I think you should remove the name of the individual from your post. It will be for the staff to decide what to do based on your flagging and/or message to them. Naming people in a public forum is generally frowned upon.

PS. i've upgraded the cover of the audio edition.

Please do, or I will have to delete the post containing it. [Edit: the post has now been deleted.] As mentioned above, you can flag the review in question for review by GR staff. Librarians have no control over reviews.
