Patricia Ann Preston | 2 comments I don't know where I should post this, but I have two author pages. Patricia Ann Preston and Patricia Preston (Books connected to that author name are To Save a Lady, Delivering Love Today.) On Amazon, I have changed covers and text on Patricia Ann Preston to Patricia Preston. They have deleted the Patricia Ann Preston author page and all my titles are listed under Patricia Preston.I would like to do the same on Goodreads. I have three stories in total under Patricia Ann Preston. "The Yard Sale," "Laid to Rest," and "Decoration Day." I would like to get the new covers added if the old ones can't be deleted or changed to the new cover. Thanks.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments If you only want one profile it would have to be "Patricia Ann Preston" since that is the more complete version of the name. Otherwise both profiles will have to stay on GR. If you have new covers for those 3 books with the shorter name the new editions can be created, and then your Short and Long name can be attached to those editions.

Patricia Ann Preston | 2 comments Thanks. I thought it would make more sense to have one author page with all the current titles/covers available on that page. Instead of having one that has no titles available. But it can stay like it is.
