Goodreads states that my novel Mystical Circles "is the only novel on Goodreads for this author." However my second novel "A Passionate Spirit" is published and is on Goodreads. I have identified the problem. My second novel is published under the name SC Skillman and my first novel is published under the name S.C. Skillman. The full stops seem to make all the difference. Is there a way of getting Goodreads to surmount this inconsistency, and link up A Passionate Spirit with my original author profile?

Done. It's even easier and faster if you provide links to the books in question :)
B.L., librarians are not Goodreads employees, they help to manage the book data for free on their spare time. So yes, a link is helpful and with it, there's more time left for working on other demands.

How hard is it to transfer the metadata accurately from Amazon.com?Worse, they have the audacity to suggest you're the one at fault here for not including the link in the post. You wouldn't have to if they had any respect for authors."
As Zaz said, we are volunteers. Many of us fill in requests when we have a few minutes spare, and providing a link simply gets things done faster.
