Doesn't look like all the book on that profile actually belong to her, though: http://www.taramoore.com/Book%20Shelf...

I am noticing a few instances where Ph D name has been added as secondary author for books, instead of merging and eliminating the Ph D?

If I understand correctly what you are asking, those seem to have come from an import we did in mid-2012. We turned off the ability of imports to add secondary names to existing books because of that issue, in fact.

Someone made one for me for my new book, but left out the period after the abbreviated K. Also, how do I add that book to my actual profile from the empty one?

I bet these shouldn't be merged - but since it looks like so many of the books on the gr author's page don't belong to him, I wondered if you had access to the edit page so you could quickly disambiguate?

Most covers have Benjamin L. Reynolds as author, but profile does not have initial?.
