Kiss of a sniper (kissofasniper) | 42 comments This book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
is written by this Nancy Holmes: http://arts.nationalpost.com/2010/07/...

not by this one https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... under who(m) (? sorry english is not my mother tongue) it`s listed.


Mandorla is another book which is written not by her, but by her: http://wpmedia.arts.nationalpost.com/...
etc..
How can I separate those authors?



EDIT: Ok I think I found out on an example =)
I made the second Nancy Holmes with two blanks like here:

Goodreads has a system of separating authors with same name with a system of spacing, i.e. Nancy^^^Holmes is the author profile which you wanted, where ^ represents spaces.


Kiss of a sniper (kissofasniper) | 42 comments Yes thank you. Ok, there have to be always three spaces then, right? Not two, as I thought first.

Jaideep Bhoosreddy (jaideep_bhoosreddy) | 92 comments I noticed your two space edit, but it didn't seem to do the trick, so I added one more to both books, which gave the required result. Also corrected one quote attributed to that author.
Note: The quote did not seem notable according to Goodreads criteria.
For this author, there will have to always three spaces to differentiate from the other.

The was no 2-space Nancy Holmes, so I edited the 3-space into a 2-space.

So now any books added for her should have 2 spaces.
