Goodreads Author profiles needing merging BY GR STAFF pt. 6

I believe they are the same author. Look how he has rated the book.

I need to add Deeper (isbn 1490324666, publisher CreateSpace) by Jane Thomson under my author profile so I can offer book giveaways. Deeper is the paperback of the e-book Deeper (different cover) already under my author profile (see http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...).
Got #10. For future reference, please start a new thread for requests to move a single book to your profile; they can be completed by any librarian.

This author is doing some weird stuff ... I think she's trying to delete her books off of the site.

Neither of these is a claimed profile.

and I think this is the other one however it is hard to pick up because it diverts to the first one. Most confusing, so I used my giveaway address. Does this help?

Jennifer, you have two user accounts (one linked to the author account), not two author accounts. You'll need to use the Contact Us link on the Help page. Link to both the profile you are logged in as and that author profile.

Actually, that's the same GR Author as the previous. Look at her book list and that of the GR Author with 2 spaces.

Found the other one for you; a search of just about any name with an initial frequently comes up with another profile with no period after the initial.

The empty one will get cleaned up by the script that deletes blank authors. No need for a merge.

They aren't initials. That's how my name is spelled.

OK, thank you for the answer.
