pseudonym

I noticed this series of books written by Saffina Deforges writing as Stevie Jordan as stated on the book covers. But on Amazon and here on GR they're listed under the author profile for Saffina Deforges. One of the books is

I just want to double check if I should change the primary author to Stevie Jordan (even though Saffina Deforges' name is on the book cover) and remove Saffina Deforge as an author?

Yes.

No, why would you do that? I fixed book one of the series (also changed title/series info to match Goodreads standard) so you can see what it should look like.

Cause I was thinking it says 'writing as' and I understood it as her using her pseudonym for the these books. I also checked inside the book and it's copyrighted under Stevie Jordan and Karen Osborne. But I wasn't sure.

And that's why the pseudonym gets primary author status. But if an author wants their non-pseudonym name listed as well, we do so. And considering it's actually on the cover (and is their claimed author profile), I think it's pretty clear she want it credited as an author.

In any case, checking is always good. :)
