D.K. Brantley (dkbrantley) | 13 comments I goofed up. Wrote a book of short stories and published it as Daniel K. Brantley, then swapped to D.K. Brantley, but I can't get the switch to work on GoodReads, and the book therefore doesn't link to my author account.

Information on the book:
Amazon cost: $0.99

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/First-Six-colle...

Author: D.K .Brantley

Title: The First Six: A collection of six rather short stories

ASIN: B00C28PRSI

About: The First Six, a collection of six rather short stories, gives the fiction behind the fact of six firsts: the first nighttime baseball game, street food vendor, escalator, female execution, creedless church, and statue made in honor of an insect.

But it's not the facts that stand out. (They should never get in the way of a good story anyway—right?) What is memorable is the fiction surrounding The First Six facts.

Why subtitle the book "A collection of six rather short stories"? Because all six of them don't even manage to hit the 6,000-word mark. Small but powerful. That, unlike the stories, is not a first.

If you could just change the author to D.K. Brantley and point it to my author account, so I would maintain the two tiny reviews, I'd be forever grateful!

Thanks...

lethe | 16368 comments I changed the author name to Daniel Brantley as per the cover, and added D.K. Brantley as secondary author: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

D.K. Brantley (dkbrantley) | 13 comments Whoa! That was crazy fast! Thanks so much. One more bothersome question: The new cover has D.K. Brantley as the author. Is there a way to replace the old cover with the new and do away with Daniel altogether? It's been that way on Amazon for a few months. Thanks again

lethe | 16368 comments No, I'm sorry. GR does not delete no-longer-published editions. See https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...

If the ISBN or ASIN is the same for the new cover, an Alternative Cover Edition is added instead, see https://www.goodreads.com/help/librar...

Added ACE: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The primary author name should be the one that the book was first published under (Daniel Brantley). D.K. Brantley is added as secondary author, see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/4...
Please don't switch the names.
