Incorrect /multiple author profile

It does not appear that any version of your name is on the cover of either of the books already listed on Goodreads. Is that correct?
Hi Rivka,Many thanks for stepping in - I see the title is now listed under my author profile. Apocalypse Later is purportedly written by 'Nice Mr Death', so it was entered into Goodreads under that author's name. One of your colleagues kindly reattributed it to me.
When I uploaded the cover for Britons in Brief it was the wrong one, and I will rectify that in the next day.
I don't want to waste any Librarian time by generating more queries. I have a number of other books to add to Goodreads. Should I edit to the author's name to Mark F Speed before doing so? Or should I keep them under Mark Speed? I'd much prefer the latter because my website is under that simple name.
Again, many thanks for your help and guidance,
Mark
Since none of the covers have your middle initial, and it's not needed for disambiguation, it should be ok to have all your books under Mark Speed. I have edited your profile to that, so if books are added with Mark Speed, they should show up there.



When the above book was added (at my request) to my author profile, my profile was changed to 'Mark F. Speed'. This is now preventing me from adding my other books, as they're attributed to 'Mark Speed' only. Apocalypse Later is the only work I've published under 'Mark F. Speed'. In addition to existing titles under 'Mark Speed', I'm about to publish a five-volume series. What's the best solution to get around this?
Many thanks for you help,
Mark Speed
