Found the Barracuda under Matt Willis, also another edition of Daedalus. Moved to your profile. Edit: Found a few more under the single-space Matthew Willis.
That's brilliant. Is there any way to make sure new books come out under my name from the beginning in future? I'll have two novels coming out soon
If you add the books yourself (with ISBN/ASIN) before the automatic imports arrive you can put your author name with 3 spaces between first and last names (Matthew^^^Willis, ^ = space) and they will go directly to your profile. Extra spacing is how Goodreads sorts same-name authors' books; it doesn't affect searches or anything else. Otherwise I'm afraid you just have to keep an eye on that other Matthew profile (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) and request books be moved, which is something librarians do all the time, no problem.



There are a number of books I've written or co-written that seem to automatically be attributed to another author of the same name. Would it be possible to move them to my profile? They are as follows:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(I should be listed on the above two as Editor as well as author)
And this one that's forthcoming (though I haven't actually written it yet, so to see it here is fun)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
There are another couple that have not been added yet, so I shall add those through my author dashboard
