Thad M M. | 1 comments There appears to be another author with the name Thad Brown. Can you please help link my profile to the book, "Improve Your Credit Report and Increase Your Credit Score: Strategies and Tactics that Work!" Please let me know what other information you need. Thank you.

Arenda | 26452 comments You don't have an author profile (yet).
I've moved the book to a new author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
To claim that profile (and the book) you can follow this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

Next time, it helps when you include a link to the book on Goodreads.

Rebecca James (rebeccajamesgayromance) | 30 comments Hi, there is incorrect author information on this page: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
I am the author and this is my page on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Rebecca James is a very popular author name. For future reference, you are Rebecca-7space-James. The extra spaces between your first and last names only show up on book edit pages and your profile edit page, but it tells the system which books are yours (and which author profile to show on giveaway pages). When adding a book manually, be sure to include the extra space, and the book will go where it belongs. If you forget, or when a book record is imported, post a new thread in this group and any librarian can fix it for you. I got that one.

Ray Whitaker | 2 comments Hello! this book is listed under my name, however I did not write it. Perhaps another guy with my name? Can it be differentiated somehow?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Did you write the other two books on that author profile? (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) If so, you can claim that profile by clicking the "Is this you? Let us know" link at the bottom of the page. When it goes through it will merge with your current user profile page.

Ray Whitaker | 2 comments Yes, I wrote the other two books on that profile. Will follow your instructions.

Thank you. I will make note of that. In this case, my publisher posted it. Thanks for fixing!
