1. You can claim this by going to the author profile page here:
Harper Black Author Profile
scroll down and click on the link that says is this you?
2. There is already an author with the same name.
3. Goodreads disambiguates between authors of the same name by using spaces between the author's first and last name.
4. Your author profile has 2 spaces: Harper^^Black, where the ^ equals a space.
5. When publications are automatically imported from Amazon or other sources, the "handshake' between Goodreads and the other source do not recognize multiple spaces, so the work goes to the default 1 space profile.
6. You can post in this forum to have it moved, or you can add the book with the 2 spaces between your first and last name before publication. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 2 spaces.
Hi everyone! My newest book fell into the wrong author profile (same name). Could someone please transfer it to me please?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thank you so much!

Your author profile is Ava^^Storm where the ^ equals a space to differentiate you from another of author of the same name.
It is quite helpful to mention that your profile has 2 spaces when asking for assistance.

you are listed on Amazon as a translator but not on Worldcat, so I removed you from this record.
I don't know how to tell you to remove your name from the record on Amazon.

1. I have gone through your profile, and moved the books that are not yours to the appropriate other author profiles.
2. I have updated and combined your works, and added covers and publication information where I could, and created/corrected series. One series had 3 different iterations, so I removed the 2 other versions.
3. I corrected your titles to meet Goodreads title/series naming conventions.
If I missed something please advise.
