message 1: by Luke (new)

Luke (lukemaynard) | 8 comments Some time ago, I was trying to get help changing the punctuation in my author name, from the incorrectly spaced "Luke R.J. Maynard" to the correctly spaced "Luke R. J. Maynard." I think I was told there was nothing I could do; I applied for librarian status to fix it myself and was denied, so I just went on as is.

Now I've published a novel, "The Season of the Plough," and it's correctly listed under the no-space author name:
Luke R.J. Maynard
The Season of the Plough

But by using the Amazon ASIN rather than the ISBN number, someone created a duplicate listing of the book under the name I actually wanted for my official profile, Luke R. J. Maynard (with space):
Luke R. J. Maynard
The Season of the Plough

I would love it & be eternally grateful if a librarian could fix my middle initials & combine these books. But if you still can't change the author name, I'd settle for combining the books. As an indie I need all the buzz and traffic I can get, and separating this book into two listings is really dragging the momentum of the book launch down. Thank you so much for your help!
