Actually, JD Clarke and J. D. Clarke should both merge into J.D. Clarke and editions combined appropriately.

Barb and J.C. Hendee co-wrote entire series and are on covers alphabetically -- but both are the authors so not sure "with" should be J.C.'s role on the book on the odd author profile.

Both links are the same. I found the right one, though.

Doubtful that is the same person.

Oh, sorry. J. D. had a bunch of J.D.'s books on his profile, but I changed the author's name on the individual books, so they're all gone now. I messaged J.D. just to confirm that the two nonfiction books (the J. D. one and the one on J.D.'s profile) are not his. We'll see what he says.

Not the same genre or profile info as goodreads author D.L. Anderson (plus a non-goodreads author D. L. Anderson which has an invalid space between initials and needs to be merged with D.L. Anderson ).
Not sure what needs to be done to correct to goodreads standards; the with periods D.L. Anderson and without periods D L Anderson have already both been disambiguated with two spaces. I am sure there are two D.L. Anderson goodreads authors with profiles distinct about what genre the effected books are (definitely not four separate authors judging by books on the profiles—although a good example of why author names need to follow goodreads standards).
