Can't add my new novel

[Steven]

Hi guys. Need help adding my new novel just released from my publisher. It's called Fourteen Days. I think it's because my book profile for my last book, Burn the dead, has too many spaces between my name (steven jenkins). I tried to change it but I'm not a Librarian.

Any ideas?

Much appreciated!

Hi, you are Steven Jenkins with 3 spaces between Steven and Jenkins.

You can either post your book yourself, without forgetting the 3 spaces, or have a librarian add the book for you. We will need the following info:
* Title
* Author(s) name(s)
* ISBN (or ASIN)
* Publisher
* Publication date
* Format
* Description
* Link to cover on a NON-BOOKSELLER site, such as a publisher site, an author site, etc. No B&N or other bookseller links can be used as sources for covers or other book data, with the (recently-changed) exception of Amazon and its subsidiaries.

Thanks. Should I post the info directly here?

[Melaslithos]

Yes please.

Here's the info. Just to be clear, I think the problem is with having too many spaces in my name with my last title.

Title: Fourteen Days
Author: Steven Jenkins
ISBN: 1941295118 (ISBN13: 9781941295113)
Publisher: Barking Rain Press
Date: 15th July 2014
Format: kindle/paperback

Workaholic developer Richard Gardener is laid up at home for two week’s mandatory leave—doctor’s orders. No stress. No computers. Just fourteen days of complete rest. Bliss for most, but hell for Richard… in more ways than one.

There’s a darkness that lives inside Richard’s home; a presence he never knew existed because he was seldom there alone. Did he just imagine those footsteps? The smoke alarm shrieking? The woman in his kitchen?

His wife thinks he’s just suffering from work withdrawal, but as the days crawl by in his solitary confinement, the terror seeping through the walls continues to escalate—threatening his health, his marriage, and his sanity.

When the inconceivable can no longer be denied, Richard is forced to come to terms with what is happening. Can he find a way to banish the darkness before he becomes an exile in his own home?

“Steven Jenkins weaves such masterful shades of weirdness between the workaholic programmer’s inner psyche and the supernatural elements he encounters that the reader is equally unsure if they are real—or just products of his overworked brain. I did not want to put the book down until the mystery was solved.” — Val Muller, author, The Scarred Letter

The spaces are not really a problem, rather the way to distinguish your profile from the other authors named Stephen Steven Jenkins (there's at least another one: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... )

If we edited the author name to "Steven^Jenkins" (1 space), the book would be linked to the other profile, not yours

So, adding as author Steven^^^Jenkins correctly adds the book to your profile and not the other

ETA: Sorry, misspelled your name

[Krazykiwi]

Steven, you have extra spaces on purpose, this is how GR keeps separate profiles for people with the same name. It has no effect at all on searching or your visibility on the site, it just lets GR keep you separated.

Steven^^^Jenkins (where ^ is standing in for a space) is you, Steven^Jenkins is not, nor is Steven^^Jenkins.

The problem isn't that your other book has too many spaces, the problem is rather you need to make a note to remember to type three spaces between your names when you try to add a book. I hope that helps clear up what is going on for you.

Fixed

[Steven]

That would be great. I just thought that the spaces were an error on my publisher's part. Thanks for getting back so prompty. Could the cover be added too. Or it that down to my publisher?

[Steven]

Just to be sure: it's steven (not stephen)

Just in case

[Steven]

Just saw the correction. Thanks you so much!!!!!

FYI, using the link on each author's page that says "Note: these are all the books on Goodreads for this author. To add more, click here." will open the add book page with the author name already added, and with the correct number of spaces.
