The following profiles are duplicates and should be merged. These are authors I'm trying to target as part of a GoodReads advertising campaign. For my ad, GoodReads limits me to 50 targeted authors, so I currently have to target these authors twice which cuts down on my precious 50 slots...lol

Yrsa Sigur-Dardóttir

needs to be merged into

Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

The former (author name spelled incorrectly) has one book listed in Spanish which seems like it might be Ashes to Dust.
