2 authors with the same name - can I have my book back?

[Avery]

Hi, This is my book, but it has been given to a different author with the same name.

Is there a way to stop this in future? (it's auto adding the titles from Amazon)

TIA! Avery

Moved to your profile.
The only way to keep it from happening is to add the book with the ASIN or ISBN before the import occurs.

how long does it usually take for the import to happen? (I'll have to remember this for next time)

and thank you :)

I think it just runs periodically. I don't know what the schedule is.

It depends on a number of factors, so it is highly variable.
