There are several books on my author page which were not written by me. I believe they were written by another Paul Knepper. The only book on this page written by me is The Knicks of the Nineties. I would like to remove all of the other books. Thank you. https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

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: Paul^^Knepper, 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.
My book is showing up under another author by the same name:https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The incorrect book is "Of Snow and Blood". Please move it to my profile.
Thanks!!

It is quite helpful to mention that your profile has 2 spaces when asking for assistance, but it is not required.

Hi there,This is not my book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
But this is (Paper Lanterns Issue 2): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
And this is mine, which is already in mt author profile:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Can you please link Paper Lanterns Issue 2 to my author page too, so I'm not associated with the other book. PL is a teen and YA journal, and being attached to the other book could be quite damaging.
I hope you can help.
Thanks a million,
Grace
This 88 page novella is not my book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...And yet it is listed alongside my 242 page novel of the same name. Please remove it from my books and profile. Thank you.

It has the same co-author.
Is this novella an abridgment or adaptation of the longer novel?
Is it part of the series?

Thank you Suzi, but the book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
still appears to be there. Is there a delay between removal and it showing on my profile? Many thanks again.

It should disappear from your profile eventually. If you notice on the link you sent, the author's link does not go to your profile.

HiIt looks like someone else has tried to create a page for Athena's child.

Is it possible to shift these reviews to the real page.

The novella in question is incorrectly titled. It actually features a story called Carmilla, which was written by J.S. Le Fanu in 1872 - the story contained within its pages is NOT Carmilla: The Wolves of Styria.
Carmilla: The Wolves of Styria is a novel I wrote ten years ago, and I chose to list J.S. Le Fanu as a co-author because my novel uses some of his (now public domain) characters.
To clarify, the novella I asked you to remove from my shelf is incorrectly titled. Furthermore, it shares no connection with my novel Carmilla: The Wolves of Styria. Please remove it from my shelf.

The novella has the title: Carmilla: The Wolves of Styria on the cover, but I have removed your name from that edition.

Actually, it appears to be a play that you wrote. It doesn't look like a valid Goodreads entry, so I will delete it.

Hi, I’ve noticed that my book is listed under another author’s name. I’ve never listed my book on goodreads before so I’m unsure why that happened or why my book is under her name. My author name is LaurG as can be seen on the book cover and her author name is Laura GCan you please remove my book from her profile.
