Goodreads uses extra spaces to disambiguate authors with otherwise identical names. The spaces are invisible to users and are only used in the 'author' field on edit pages. The profile you claimed is Val^^Richards, where ^ is a space. The extra space ensures that your books appear on your profile and not on the default, single-space Val Richards profile. In future, be sure to include the extra space when adding books to the Goodreads database. Barring that, feel free to post a request here again should some of your books be automatically imported without the extra space. (No other database uses the same system, but we get imports from external databases all the time.)
Thanks,
Val
