Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Well, here's a start on it:

Kevin Kelly-

(1) computer journalism
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

(2) misc/multiple authors
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

There appear to be 13 other Kevin Kellys (with various middle names or initials) who might be able to pick up some (or all) of that misc/multiple....

Kaion (kaionvin) Someone seems to have split this without leaving notes on methodology, so I'm not sure of #3-5

1)Jon^Stewart (Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz): Comedian, Host of The Daily Show http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
2) Jon^^Stewart (John Bartley Stewart): philosophy http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
3) Jon^^^Stewart: Cookbooks in Japanese http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
4) Jon^^^^Stewart: British uplands environment http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

willaful I think the Chris Mooney we have listed here on Goodread (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...), a science writer, is different from the Chris Mooney who writes mysteries (http://www.chrismooneybooks.com/).

willaful I strongly suspect that this Megan Chance (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...), author of erotica, is not the Megan Chance, author of historical fiction, that she is listed under (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...)

willaful Several different authors are listed under Julia Ross: http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...

Primary one is an author of historical romance.

This one is a diet doctor: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

This one is a professional tutor: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82...

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments willaful, could you make a new thread under Book Issues for authors that need to be disambiguated but haven't been done yet? Most people aren't going to be checking this thread for work to do, since it's for reporting work that's already been done.

willaful Oh, sorry. I thought this was the place to put people who needed to be disambiguated, before they were added to the master list.

Teresa | 2 comments I added a profile for Paul Harding, the author of "Tinkers." http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... I had to add 3 spaces between his first and last names, as there are already two other Paul Hardings in the GR database.

Thanks, Paula. Is there some way to add his name to the master list that the link leads to?

Sally | 30 comments Haven't time to delve into it now; perhaps next week. This might be among the most ironic author ambiguities:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

One publishes collections of gay plays, and the other is a religious writer! :)
