Lynn Michaels | 52 comments My book is being listed under a different author with the same name. I need to add a new book that I've just published, but don't feel I can until this issue is resolved. I added a middle initial to my profile - Lynn S Michaels - if that will help. Can't believe the other Lynn Michaels hasn't mentioned it...

What do I do?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments After seeing it on your reader profile, I have moved The Holeshot to a new author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... You can claim this profile by clicking the "Is this you? Let us know" link at the bottom of the page. When it goes through it will merge with your current reader profile.

That author profile is using 2 extra spaces between first and last names to differentiate from the two other authors of the same name, so if you are adding a book, put a total of 3 spaces (Lynn^^^Michaels) and it will go to the correct profile. The spacing doesn't affect searches or anything else, just book sorting.

Is that your only book at the moment, or do any others need moving?

Lynn Michaels | 52 comments Brilliant! I will be adding another - but that's it for now. Only Holeshot.

Thank you so so so much!
