K.T. (ktbowes) | 26 comments Hi, because of the periods in my author name, other people keep recreating my author page on GR without the periods and adding my books. I know someone recently deleted the K T Bowes page and commuted the books across to my K.T. Bowes profile but it's happened again.

The latest books to go onto this other page are my new one, All Saints
http://www.amazon.com/All-Saints-Intr...

And Logan Du Rose http://www.amazon.com/Logan-Rose-Nove...

Please can these be moved back onto my profile and the one without periods deleted?

How can I stop this happening? I don't have periods in my author name and was told last time that I have to have them in my GR name.

I have just published this novel last night and suspect the same thing will happen to that as a reader tries to add it.

Thanks for your help.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7953 comments Moved these books to your profile:
Logan Du Rose - also added this book to the Hannah Du Rose Mysteries series.

All Saints - created new series here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1793...

Added this book:
Deleilah - created new series here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1793...

The import process brings in these books without the periods, which automatically creates the "K T Bowes" author page. You can add the books beforehand, or you can ask a librarian to move the books to your profile.

K.T. (ktbowes) | 26 comments Thanks so much. Appreciate you doing this.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments The other option if you can would be to fix Amazon so that it lists your author name with the Periods between the initials, then the import would put them on the right profile page.

K.T. (ktbowes) | 26 comments I've got 18 book covers without them and I wish there was a way of not having them on GR so probably not a good option for me. I also publish in numerous other places period-less too but thank you for the suggestion.

Paisley Kirkpatrick (httpwwwpaisleykirkpatrickcom) | 2 comments I just added my newly released book Love's Embrace because the listing didn't have book cover. It's now up twice without a cover. How do I make it 8 books by Paisley Kirkpatrick and the photo is on the book? Thank you for any help.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7953 comments #6: Working on it...

#6 / 8 Done:
Added cover image for both editions of Love's Embrace:
Kindle: Love's Embrace
paperback: Love's Embrace

I also created the Northwoods series and Paradise Pines serieses:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1793...
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1794...

...and added covers to those editions that were missing them. I found some missing ebook editions and added those as well.

In future, if a book imports without its cover, just post a request to the Librarian's Group along with a link to the book and to an accepted source for the cover image (such as an Amazon listing page or a publisher's web site), and a librarian will be glad to add it for you.
