Is there anyway to remove this name (Riann Colton) from the Goodreads author program so I can change my name to Jenna Howard and be in the author program?

Ah, there are other books under that name. Scratch that then.

Do you mean the cover with Jenna Howard from Amazon?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Setting the default edition of this book to this cover:
Click here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/2...
On the right-hand side of the page about halfway down, click "Set this book as the primary edition for this work".
Click "Save Changes"

I clicked on the link and I'm getting a nice alert page telling me "Your permissions will only allow the editing of the metadata" and when I clicked on the answer more questions about your book...it gave me Abby Road by Ophelia London and a different book the second time I clicked on the button.
Okay well now the link is working. Technology is so against me this week.But it's not giving me the option...I'm going to clear my cache and see if that helps...

Sorry, you need to be a Goodreads Author AND the primary author of a book to be able to set the default edition.
EDIT: I've cheated. Try to set it now.
No I'm still not getting the "set this as the primary edition" option though now it says Riann Colton twice.

I don't recall changing the author. I had asked what to do with changing my pseudonym and they said to just add my name and keep the original author on. But who knows I might've done it by accident.And it's now telling me that I can't set this edition as the primary edition.

Whoo-hoo!!!! Cyber champagne for all.Thanks so much, Banjomike. You were incredibly patient and awesome and....thanks.
That drove me to the ice cream.
