David Putnam (davidputnam) | 14 comments Hello, my new book THE RECKLESS is currently connected to a different David Putnam (non-Goodreads Author). Also, the title could include "(Bruno Johnson #6)" since books #1 - #5 are labeled that way.

Here's a link to THE RECKLESS: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

And a link to the correct David Putnam (me): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm having the same issue, with my new book, called THE HEARTLESS.

Can you help with that, too?
Thanks again,

David Putnam (davidputnam) | 14 comments @scott - same issue, new book, THE RUTHLESS, #8 it the series, is not yet tied to me as a goodreads author: https://www.gocodreads.com/book/show/...

Also, to match the rest of the series, if you could add to the end of the title: "(Bruno Johnson, #8)"

Thanks!

I'm not "@scott" but I'll let you you know what I did:

1. there were 2 stray editions of the #8 book, which I moved to your profile, and added to the series.

2. There was a stray hardcover edition with incorrect ISBN of the #7 book, which I also moved to your profile. It had several reviews attached to it, so I am putting in the queue to merge with the correct hardcover of #7. To make sure things are properly merged with the correct edition it is necessary to temporarily separate the other edition from the 2 hardcover editions. This will correct itself in a few days.

3. I am in the process of standardizing all your titles to correspond with Goodreads title/series naming conventions.

4. Goodreads distinguishes between authors of the same name with spaces before the last name. Your author profile is David^^Putnam, where the ^ equals a space. The default, or "one space" profile is empty.

5. If you will contact Goodreads support: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta... and ask them to move your profile to the "one space" profile, I believe this will correct a lot of your issues.

If you have any questions, or I missed something, please advise.
