Lee Howlett | 121 comments This is another case of an author and narrator with the same name. Several books by the author David Shears are listed on the narrator David Shears Goodreads page.

There are 2 editions of the title mentioned above on the narrator's page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And these other books:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I don't know if the page with all of these titles connected is the original page for the author David Shears or the narrator David Shears.

Thanks for any help.

Best,
Lee Ann

Elvenn | 5765 comments Well, I've combined the first two books.

The profile you mention is the default David Shears profile (David Shears with one space between the name and the surname), where all books with authors, narrators, contributors, etc. with that name land when added to the data base.

I have moved the narrator to a second profile (David Shears with two spaces) but I don't feel I have enough information to divide the remaining books into different profiles. Perhaps other librarians with knowledge of the authors may be able to do it.

making no promises, but I will review it.

I think you got almost all of them. I did a little more research, and disambiguated a couple more.

And it's done.
