Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments As Rivka said on your previous post - we don't merge pen names with main author accounts.

If the author wants both to show on his main account, the book will have the author as published listed first on the relevant book records, then their other name listed as a secondary author.

If you can confirm that the author wants the books to show on BOTH profiles, we can do that now.

Z-squared | 8575 comments so i don't believe we can merge. however, all the books that have "Daniel Annechino" on the front were German translations of others that were originally in English. therefore i changed the primary author on all the german translations to "D.M. Annechino" and placed Daniel as a secondary author. i then combined the german editions with their english counterparts.

Z-squared | 8575 comments and just to clarify, the reason i did that is that policy is to have the primary author be the same on ALL editions, and the primary author is the name under which it is first published. therefore, all the german ones now have D.M. as primary.
