I will revert your author name changes as we don't edit existing books in that way. I'll add new editions.

So how does this work? I'm confused as they're showing back up on my Madeline Dyer profile which I want to just be my traditionally-published fiction... :)

Even though you have changed the author for future editions all past editions have Madeline Dyer as the author. That won't change. The new author name is added so the book will apppear on both profiles.
I saw the Guinea Pig book.

So there's no way to remove those ebooks from my Madeline Dyer profile, as I really need it to be just my fiction... I don't mind Madeline Dyer still appearing as the author on the past editions, I just don't want those ones linked to my profile! (if that's possible?)
Also, the Guinea Pig ebook is still showing the author as M. J. A. Dyer?

The first author remains as the first author otherwise the books cannot be combined. Also Goodreads keeps (or tries to keep) all editions of a book. A book with Madeline Dyer as an author will appear on your profile. Any combination of Madeline Dyer and M.J.A. Dyer will result in the books appearing on both profiles. It is intended to help readers find books by authors with multiples pennames.
These are the M.J.A. Dyer books

As far as I know, the only way to not have the books appear on the Madeline Dyer page is for Madeline Dyer not to appear on any editions. That goes against Goodreads policy. Madeline Dyer wrote the fist edition so she appears on that one and subsequent editions.
Thanks! Just another question:
On my Madeline Dyer profile,https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
the Guinea Pig book shows both 'Madeline Dyer' and 'M. J. A. Dyer' as the authors... (which I like!) Can the other three be the same please?
