Book under wrong author

[Amber]

Hi, the book "Shadow Within" is linked to the wrong author Amber Forbes (Amber Skye Forbes in about section https://www.goodreads.com/TheDancingW...).

I was trying to change my author details from A.F. Sands (pen name) to Amber Forbes (correct name) But it won't let me do that, as it keeps linking it to the other Amber Forbes.
I've then ended up with the book linked to the other author. Can you please help?

Moved book to your A.F. Sands profile. It will take a bit for the book to leave the Amber Forbes profile due to cache timing.

Thank you!

How would I go changing the A.F. Sands profile to the name Amber Forbes? (With out mixing it up with the other author already with this name)

Your author profile name should match the name on your book covers.

I was about to change that when it put the book under the other Amber Forbes. As soon as I have the book back with mine, I will be changing the names on it.
I just want to be able to do it, so the book stays with my author information.

We can create a second and distinct Amber Forbes profile. It will just have 2 spaces between the first and last names. The extra space between your first and last names will only show up on book edit pages and your profile edit page, but it tells the system which books are yours.

However, the book that was already published under A.F. Sands will need to have that name as the first listed author on all editions of the book -- including any future editions with Amber Forbes on the cover.

That would be absolutely fine, I'm happy for that to happen. I just want it to match what's actually in the stores now with the cover.

Also, It won't let me change the cover of the book, as it's librarian access only. How would I do that?

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....

Amazon still has A.F. Sands on the cover.

But the new cover is up at Smashwords. Your profile has been edited, and a new cover edition for the Smashwords ebook has been added and set as primary.

Please note that the ASIN or ISBN remains with the first edition.

Thank you so much!
I wasn't sure how to do this at all, so, again, thank you so much for all your help :)
