Jeff Ryan | 1 comments I hope this is the right place for this...

I'm Jeff Ryan. I wrote Chain Letters and Other Poems and To Leave or Die in Nashville. Unfortunately there's another Jeff Ryan who wrote a book about Mario, and To Leave or Die in Nashville is linked to his author account. Can we fix that up so that I get credit for my two books and he isn't burdened by having my book on his author page?

Thank you so much!

Looks like someone fixed your book.

Because we have more than one author named Jeff Ryan, you are Jeff-2space-Ryan. The extra space between your first and last names only shows up on book edit pages and your profile edit page, but it tells the system which books are yours. When adding a book manually, be sure to include the extra space, and the book will go where it belongs. If you forget, post in this group and any librarian can fix it for you.
