Kf | 5 comments Hi,

I am not an author (or goodreads author) but I see a mistake in the author profile for a book that I like. Can this be changed? The amazon bio is correct but goodreads is incorrect. Is there a way to have the goodreads bio link to the amazon one? Thanks!

Katherine

Kf | 5 comments It's 12 stories of russia (5717200552). The correct author bio (from Amazon) is:

A. J. Perry is the author of 'Twelve Stories of Russia: A Novel, I guess' (Glas, 2001); 'Douze histoires cul sec: Un roman, je presume' (Editions Intervalles, 2006); and 'The Old People' (Thames River Press, 2014). www.ajpery.net

(The current GR bio says he's living in Moscow with his wife, but I know they've since divorced.)

Thanks for any help. I'm sure goodreads would want the more correct bio if it's available.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I've removed the mention of his wife and added the link to his website, but there's not much point in a bio which only lists the author's books when the author profile page is already a list of the author's books....

Kf | 5 comments Ok, thank you. That's at least an improvement!
