My book wrong Author Dashboard location

1. Goodreads disambiguates between authors of the same name by using spaces before the author's last name.
2. Your author profile has 2 spaces: Joseph F.^^Smith, where the ^ equals a space.
3. 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.
4. You can post in this forum to have it moved, or you can add the book with the 2 spaces before your last name before publication.
5. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 2 spaces.
So here is as much detail information at this time I can give you.
