Good morning! I'm an author who just tried to add my new ebook to my author profile, but messed it up by not matching the "author name" exactly. I was told this group could help me. I would like to know how to move Middle-Age Crazy to my Lynne M. Spreen author page, and delete the duplicate author profile I accidentally set up. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

A super-librarian or mod is going to have to do this for you, as it involves adding a secondary author with a similar name to a Goodreads author.Also, the duplicate author profile probably won't get deleted.
What's the title of the series for this book? Short Stories of Midlife and Beyond?
I have added Lynne M. Spreen as a secondary author, but L.M. Spreen will have to stay as primary as that is what is on the cover.

I think I will change the cover with KDP before doing any more in the series. Unless you think that'll even cause more trouble (uploading a new cover?)

"If you mean you want to change the name on the cover so that the name on the book will be changed to Lynne M., then it won't for Middle-Age Crazy. The first name that a book is published under will always be the first name that appears on the book record for every edition of that book. Future books that never had L.M. on the cover will be OK.

Okay, I'll leave well enough alone and fix the future ones so all say Lynne M. Spreen from now on. I thought I was being clever. Huh. (smacks hand to forehead.)
