The books of two authors have been conflated into a single profile--Charles Martin the novelist and Charles Martin, poet and translator. How does one correct this problem?

Since Shawn is a Goodreads Author, he does have librarian privileges.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 89 comments I received this eMail this morning:
Lisa, I do not know how to separate authors from books so I thought would send to you and see if you are able to do it?

This author wrote the Patricia Amble series and another author by the same name wrote the baby food books.

I moved the food books to another author profile. If any more books by another author show up on her profile, just post in this group and a librarian will take care of it (or, since you are a librarian, you can do it yourself by following the instructions in this help topic: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/20...).

You might want to invite the author of the Patricia Amble series to join the Goodread's author program. She can do so from this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf....
More info about the author program can be found here:
