Emily (emily_has_a_sock) | 3 comments There are two author profiles for a Jason Alan, both claiming the book "Phate: The Cosmic Fairy Tale," but claiming different editions (which also means the print and Kindle versions cannot be listed as the same book).

I am not sure if they are the same person or not. What is the correct response in this situation?

The one with only that book is the 2-space author (so unlikely it got there by mistake), while the other is the 1-space author (so likely it did, plus he has other books). Moved second edition to 1-space author and combined.

(Other clues: Note author site name of the one born in NY. And mention of book in author bio. The other is born in Texas, and writes poetry.)
