I think an author was incorrectly added to these books?

[Caitlin]

I recently noticed a new author seems to have been added to several books and/or prioritized to show first in searches for those books. This new author does not appear on retail sites or in library catalogs for the books I spot checked.

It looks at least one of the books Surviving Adam Meade was originally published on wattpad so maybe this is a wattpad penname?

Either way it honestly seems like a mistake but I don't know it's a mistake so I am mentioning it here.

Thanks for taking the time to look into it.

That book has a librarian note on it saying that the pen name should be primary on all editions, so I suppose it's all right.

Thank you for reporting it, though :)

Oh that's so interesting, do you know why that would be?

It was first published under the pen name. Goodreads policy is that subsequent editions are always published with the first author in the first spot, and other names appear second.
