A.N. Jones (anjonesauthor) | 9 comments Hi!

I just looked at my author profile and it suddenly has a book that I did not write on it (the author is using the same moniker as me, unfortunately). I would like it deleted from my profile ASAP please:

Phoenix Kindled (Child of Fire and Air)

please don't delete the other three as they *are* mine and I'm quite proud of them 😊

Thanks in advance!

Abcdarian | 26579 comments #51: Book moved to a new author profile. It was automatically imported from Amazon and since you have the default profile for that author name (the only one until just now), it went to you. If more arrive, just ask and a librarian will move them.

A.N. Jones (anjonesauthor) | 9 comments Thank you!

Although I find it odd that it was automatically imported from Amazon as it is not on my author central page at all. And when I looked at who added it, this website told me that it was done by a user not amazon....

Just to let you know on that new profile - this other author does not use the periods after her initials - can this be changed please to further distinguish us from each other?

Thanks for the fast response on it!!

It was imported from Amazon. A librarian corrected the author name by adding periods after the initials, which is according to Goodreads policy and may not be changed. Due to the correction, the book landed on your author page.


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments You do have the default profile - which means one space between your first and last name - so everthing which is normally imported with that name just goes there. Doesn't matter if anything is your central author page or not, that has nothing to do with each other.

A.N. Jones (anjonesauthor) | 9 comments Thank you for explaining. Please know your efforts are appreciated. I do not know how the system works and therefore was confused. Thank you for your time and effort.
