name spelling issue

[Michael]

Hello,
You have author "Iman Mirsal", which is a correct transliteration of the Arabic. However the author spells her name "Iman Mersal" in English - this is the name that's actually printed on her book, "These are Not Oranges My Love" (see http://www.amazon.com/These-are-not-O...) and this is the way readers search for her work. Can you include both spellings?

We cannot use data from Amazon or other booksellers, but the cover was also here on Goodreads, and we can certainly use that. Author profile merged to Iman Mersal, as per book cover.

thanks!

(searching the Title/Author/ISBN box on "Mersal" still doesn't pull up the book, but maybe that'll be fixed as the website's indices are probably recomputed only occasionally...)

Yeah, it takes a bit for them to update. Looks like it works now.
