message 1: by Phil (new)

Phil (notacat) | 37 comments Some of the books by Greg James were actually written by Greg James. I have left a message on his website asking for clarification of the less obvious ones.

His pseudonym is GR Yeates aka G.R. Yeates: one of each (plus his real name, under which he contributed a second story!) is attached to the two editions of The Eclective: The Time Collection and the mechanism for twisting round the list of authors in order to adjust the names is defeating me right now. Is there a simpler way of doing this, or can someone with a faster connection take up the reins?

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments GR Yeates has now been changed to G.R. Yeates. I had to do it manually, as only staff can merge profiles into a GR author profile.

Once you know about the Greg James books, you will need to manually move them, too, as in that instance it won't be possible to merge.

In case you don't already know, he has two spaces between his first and last name.

Phil (notacat) | 37 comments Thanks, that was the hard part: now just the tedious waiting to endure ;-)

Yes, I spotted the distinction between the two Gregs: merging isn't an option because I'm sure there are actually two of them. I just wasn't able to determine for a certainty whether some of the other books should be moved also.
