The books published under Nick will retain Nick as the primary author. I will add Linda Wall as the secondary author on the books that are under the Nick Wall profile, and you can claim the Linda Wall profile. It is up to you whether to keep control of the Nick Wall profile.

1. I have added all editions, including covers and publishing information, and corrected the ISBNs in your existing editions. The ISBN10 was in the ISBN13 field, and your Kindle ASIN was in an ISBN field.
2. All these books have Linda Wall as the secondary author.
the profile is here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
You can scroll down to the place it says "is this you?" and claim this profile.
3. You will have to use a different email address to claim the Linda Wall profile than you have used with the Nick Wall profile, or relinquish the Nick Wall profile.
4. The Linda Wall profile has 2 spaces between the first and last name, so disambiguate it from other authors with the same name. Do not remove the spaces after you claim the profile. If you need assistance from Librarians after you claim this profile, it is quite helpful to mention that it is the profile with 2 spaces.
5. If you have any questions, or I missed anything, please advise.
My name's now Linda Wall.
