Daniel Howard (danielhowardwriting) | 4 comments I'm having difficulty adding the following books to my author profile:
1) Taken in the Dark of Night (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)
2) Voices of Imagination 2 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)

There are multiple authors with the name "Daniel Howard" and I think that these titles may be credited to one of them. That or a large number of books that I had no part in writing are being credited to me.

Any help getting this sorted out would be appreciated. If I've posted in the wrong place, could you please point me in the right direction to get help with this? Thank you.

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments GR uses spaces between first and surname to disambiguate authors. However automatic imports don't know which author name to attribute works to, and they all go to the default.

You are Daniel^^^Howard (where ^ denotes a space). Because imports go to the single space profile, you'll need to post here in this group each time a book is imported, or add them yourself from your profile page before they are automatically imported.

Thank you very much for the help. And it looks like I'll be visiting this group a least a few more times in the future.
