message 1: by Rhonda (new)

Rhonda (rhondaal) | 41 comments I have found one author that uses four different names on her books. It looks like she's released her books several times and used a different pen name on them/the covers (Amazon shows different names for the same person also). The problem is that I can't edit and add the additional pseudonyms to her books and list the correct/main one first so that all of the editions of each book can be linked together. There are editions of her three "Ivy" books belonging to her "Devoted" series (with multiple editions scattered about each profile). I don't know how to link all of her author profiles together. Any assistance or instruction would be appreciated. I hope this made sense.
Susanna Quinn
J. Lerman
S. Quinn
S.K. Quinn (this one was created by me when I went to add new editions for alternate covers found on Amazon for Kindle--when I couldn't add her other names, I deleted the one book I created before I made a bigger mess.

This is in regard to the following book series:
The Ivy Lessons (Devoted, #1)
Where the Ivy Grows (Devoted, #2)
Bound By Ivy (Devoted, #3)

Do you know under which name these books were published first?

Rhonda (rhondaal) | 41 comments Unfortunately, I have no idea.

Determining that is the first step. Each book should have as the primary author the name it was first published under, and then if a different name is on that edition, that name will be listed as secondary for that edition.

Rhonda (rhondaal) | 41 comments Is that information available on the internet? I tried a few of the websites listed in the Librarian's Manual but didn't really find anything.

It has certainly been discussed in this group before. It doesn't seem to be spelled out in the Manual.

Any member of this group can suggest new items for the Manual by starting a new thread in the appropriate folder.

Rhonda (rhondaal) | 41 comments Not sure if this makes a difference but I just noticed that she's got all three listed on Facebook authored as "S. Quinn". http://www.facebook.com/ivytrilogy

I'm not sure where to look or go about finding all of the past editions of this series. This message board isn't exactly easy to search through. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what the next step is...
