combining across names

[Ivonne]

J.G. Goodhind writes the Honey Driver series; however, two editions of her book Something in the Blood have the name Jean G. Goodhind on them instead. I'm trying to combine all of the editions of Something in the Blood, but I find I cannot. I've already checked that it's the same book and same author, not a wild coincidence.

What do I do?

Since the books were originally published under the name J.G. Goodhind, they should have all that name listed first on every edition. The editions published under the name Jean G. Goodhind can have that name as a secondary author. I've switched all of the names; can you check that I got them all and that they're combined correctly now?

Cait, you SO rock! Thank you for taking care of this matter.

Would you mind teaching me how to add the secondary author designation? Apparently, I've just found out, Goodhind is reissuing the Honey Driver books in Kindle and new paperback format with the moniker "Jean G. Goodhind" rather than "J.G. Goodhind" this time around; therefore, there will be lots more of the books with the other name to come. I don't want to pester you when they're released, so I'd like to know how to add these books correctly with the J.G. Goodhind name and the secondary author name.

Again, thanks so much!

Cheers, Ivonne

Ivonne -

If you're on a book edit page, there is a link under the author field that says "Add new author," if you click on this link an additional box will pop up that you can enter an additional author into.

Oh, thanks so much. I thought that was only for multiple authors; now I see you can use it with the same author. Again, thanks
