Rod Jr. (rod_martin_jr) | 4 comments Three books listed are mine:
"The Bible's Hidden Wisdom: God's Reason for Noah's Flood" (trade paperback)
"The Bible's Hidden Wisdom: God's Reason for Noah's Flood" (Kindle)
"The Art of Forgiveness" (Kindle)

CONFUSION: I want to be known as Rod Martin Jr, but the profile does not have a place to put "Jr" except in Last Name field. Upon adding the Kindle version of the first book, I'm seeing an error, that my "Last Name" does not match. Please see the books themselves to see that the author of all 3 is "Rod Martin Jr".

Error #1:

Note: We encourage all authors to sign up under their real names, and your last name (Martin Jr) doesn't match — we suggest you correct this before applying.

I changed the Last Name field on my profile to "Martin" but then get the following error:

Error #2:

Note: We encourage all authors to sign up under their real names, and your last name (Martin) doesn't match — we suggest you correct this before applying.

I'm stuck between "Martin Jr" (preferred) and "Martin" (not preferred).

Please advise on the "Jr" issue and/or make any corrections needed.

Thanks for your help.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Just continue with the application, that will not stop it going through, the GR staff member will be able to edit the profile and add Jr as per GR policy to the end of your name.

Edit: I have added Jr with period at the end as per GR Policy, use the claim link at the bottom of the page.
