message 1: by Fiona (new)

Fiona Glass (fiona_glass) | 26 comments I've noticed that my name appears as Fiona Glass (of I Do). I'm wondering if it would be possible to change this.

Although I had a short story in the 'I Do' anthology, it was one of the shortest I've ever had published, in an anthology released several years ago, and since then I've had many, many stories and even two standalone books published. I have also changed direction as a writer, from the erotic romance of 'I Do' to crime and noir.

Therefore, using 'I Do' to identify me is no longer really appropriate, and I'd be really grateful if it could be deleted and my name show up just as Fiona Glass.

Thanks so much for your help.

Fiona Glass
(not of I Do!!)

Of the books you are listed as author or contributor to, it has the highest popularity. Therefore it is the books listed in that spot, automatically.

There is no way to manually change which book appears there.

Fiona Glass (fiona_glass) | 26 comments Thanks for your quick response, but that's very disappointing. I no longer write m/m erotica and would very much like to be disassociated from the work as much as possible. I've yet to see any other author have a title quoted after their name and am not sure why mine has been singled out in that way? Would it not be possible to have no book appearing there?

Fiona Glass (fiona_glass) | 26 comments Oh, okay, my bad. ;)

I'm still slightly puzzled by you saying this is my most popular work, since the average rating is 3.93 and several of my other books are rated more highly than that...

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments I think Rivka means most popular by frequency of review or addition to shelves, not by star rating :)

Correct. Sorry, I should have said "most shelved".

Fiona Glass (fiona_glass) | 26 comments Thanks for the explanation. :)

I'm still a little uneasy about this and was wondering if there's any way an author can opt out?

Kerry (geniusscientist) | 70 comments You might try asking in the Feedback Group about that.

Fiona Glass (fiona_glass) | 26 comments Okay, thanks for the suggestion.
