Karen Docter | 9 comments My Author Page is under my contemporary romance name of Karen Docter.

I also write as K.L. Docter. I'm in the above box set as K.L. Docter which is how it's listed on Goodreads. How do I get this box set to show up on my Author Page alongside my other books?

Can you add it?

Marc (mkupper) | 82 comments On the K.L. Docter books you would add them with K.L. Docter as the primary author and Karen Docter as a second author.

The primary author is what's stated on the front cover of the book and you use "other authors" to have them show on your main profile.

In the "About the Author" box you can add a note that you write as K.L. Docter to explain why they look like co-authored books on Goodreads.

Please see the "Author pseudonyms/pen names" section of https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... for more about this.

For example it looks like Killing Secrets is set up though we should make K.L. Doctor the primary author with a role of Pseudonym and Karen Doctor the second author and using the Author role.

Karen - I tried to fix the box set but the editor was doing strange things and so I escalated the issue.

While working on the record there was a warning about an invalid ISBN. It had the ISBN 9780996382 which is not valid as ISBNs that start with 978 should be 13 digits. As I could not find this set on Amazon I changed the type from eBook to Nook and used ISBN 2940152317725 from the B&N web site.

Please remember we should not be taking any data from book seller websites it is not just covers.
