1. Goodreads disambiguates between authors of the same name by using spaces between the author's first and last name.
2. Your author profile has 5 spaces: David^^^^^Greene, where the ^ equals a space. [5 spaces]
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 as you did to have it moved, or you can add the book with the 5 spaces between your first and last name before publication.
5. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 5 spaces
My new book is currently attached to the wrong author account. Could it please by associated with my account (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) and not the other one?
Thanks!
