I would like to add another book to my author profile

What name should we use for the book?
Since the book appears to have only been published under Elsie Snave, that would be the primary author.



Those other books were not published under Elsie Snave, if I understand you correctly. Then you cannot change the primary author of those books. You can add as a secondary author any additional names, but not replace them.
I see that Rivka has commented here so I am going to leave the changes you made, for the moment, so that Rivka can chime in and to avoid a lot of undoing of work when too many hands are in the mix. However, I cannot stress enough that changing correct data in a book record is not ok.

This statement has me confused. Why can't I change the data on a book thats mine? I'm not trying to do things against the grain just trying to get a hang of it so that I can do it correctly. Please help me understand.
My author name as it is currently is Megan L. Wieand and it won't allow me to change it. Is this what where talking about here? I don't go by that name so should I just close out this account and open up another one? Would that be easier than to change my name to my current correct Pen name?
Goodreads policy is that once a book has been published under a given variant of the author name, that name must be listed as primary author for ALL editions of the work.
However, I can change the author profile you are linked to to the Elsie Snave one, if you wish.

If there is anything you want to edit/remove from the Megan L. Wieand profile before I move you to Elsie Snave, go ahead and do that.

(BOOK COVER)
Description:
Kayson:
Fighting in a war was easy; I did that every day. It was the death that came along with winning the fight that was a hard pill to swallow. Each death had a smell and face. Those people were someone’s father or sister or friend. Just like each fight had a face and that’s what was always missing in my fight; a love to fight for.
Arianna:
For as long as I can remember I’ve been alone. No one to tend to my belly aches, no one to kiss my skinned knee and no one to tuck me in. Sure there was the illusion of parents but they didn’t care. All they saw when they looked at our family portrait was themselves. I was always the afterthought, the little girl in corner hiding from the crowd.
Kayson:
Ari was everything I needed but never would have fought for in my time of need. Fight isn’t something you require when dealing with love. Love should come easy and this felt effortless. She was my tethered rope when the quicksand of my sorrow was getting to thick. She was my lifeline.
Arianna:
When I met him I didn’t know what he did for a living. I didn’t care. All I knew was that there was sadness behind his eyes and I wanted to help heal him. Kayson was my charity case, my very attractive charity case. I didn’t know that all I needed was one week in his life to know that he would play such a significant part in mine. It was one week until his job took him away from me. Fighting for our country is something I’ve always admired about him. Kayson was strong, reliable and trustworthy. He was everything you saw when you thought of the perfect soldier. But as much as I loved his strength I hated his ability to walk away from me. Without him I’ve learned how dark our world really is and how lonely one can feel amongst a crowd.
How was I to manage this life? A life at a distance with the one person who makes me feel alive. Who makes me feel like me for the first time in my life? Who knew we would be fighting the same battle of a different war?
