The profile you linked to, Liam Davies, is a horror/SF writer (see his website here: http://liamdavies.webs.com/booksandfr...). The book you linked to also has Liam Davies on it, not Liam Davison. Liam Davison's profile also looks free of anything SFish: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...Am I missing something? Or perhaps someone has already taken care of it, although I can't see anything in the logs...
That's interesting: when I search Liam Davison through the search box at the top of the screen, I get this URL and there's no mention of You and Doctor Who on it. https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...It's the same at https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
But at this one, searching through the search box using Search by Book Title, Author, or ISBN I get this one, and there it is!

Weird, eh?
Ah. That's because the search tool concatenates all field info. That book has another author named Allison Davison, in addition to Liam Davies. So the search for 'Liam Davison' pulls it up because the record has both "Davison' and 'Liam' attached, not necessarily because those names occur together. The Goodreads search tool doesn't always behave in the most intuitive manner :P
