Tate James | 1 comments Hello! There seems to be two profiles for me? My correct one, which I have claimed: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
and then this one: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The second one (not me) has also auto linked my newest book (Elements of Mischief) and well as my already claimed book (The Vixen's Lead). As far as I am aware, this second profile should only have Police Story as their 'books' as I did not write that one.

That's because the way GR works with author names which are the same. GR distinguishes them by the spaces they have between first and last name.
Yours is the 2 space profiile - which means literally that, two spaces between Tate^^James (^= space).
To have books going directly to your profile you have to set them - if you are missing one (like your co-author did) they go to the default 1 space profile which is someone else.

The kindle edition of Vixens Lead was probably imported by the amazon bot - that happens automatically for books who are not in the database already (recognized by ASIN/ISBN) and is done by other bookseller bots as well. And these bots mostly have one space between the names. (although I now saw it once that someone has his books imported with two so that seems to be somehow possible to trick that bot).
Which leads to the next question - your "ebook" without identifying details - is it actually a kindle edition? (GR makes a difference between ebook (other booksellers) and kindle (only amazon)) Then we could either merge it into the kindle or if possible add the isbn from the other bookseller (to prevent another wrong going book)
