I just went through the start of my Author profile and there were books by another Melissa Graham that I did not write. How do I separate Deny the Moon (my book) from all of the others? ("The Rough Guide to Chile" books, "Rough Guide to Ecuador" books, "Trans-Canada Rail Guide" books, and "The Best Christmas Decorating Ideas" are NOT mine)

Done.Moved your book to "Melissa^^Graham" where ^=space. This way any new books not by you will not be automatically assigned to your profile.
If you add another book just put the 2 spaces in the name and it will be added to your profile. If you have one the shows up under the other profile, just post here and somebody will move it for you.
You can claim your profile by following the link below.

Question; If someone goes to search for me by author name, do they now have to use 2 spaces to find me? If so, that seems like a rather unpractical way to go about it :/
No, the system just uses it as a way to differentiate people with the same name. If someone searched your name they would be given the option to choose between the different ones.
Awesome! That takes a lot of my mind, then. Thank you!
Actually the name on the books is Melissa A. Graham. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show.... That is the profile she should be claiming.
thank you, thank you. I noticed that the "A." was missing and was a little confused about it but since the Kindle version would only let me put my first and last name when I submitted it, I think that is where things got screwed up. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Though, the OTHER Melissa Graham would have still had my book listed on her profile so hopefully what they did above helped to clear that off her list, too. Two birds one stone haha
If any more of your books come in without the initial, just ask and we can fix them. Glad it's sorted. :-)
