1. Goodreads differentiates between authors of the same name by using spaces before the author's last name.
2. Your author profile has 2 spaces: Sadie^^King, 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. It will considerable expedite your request if you mention that your profile has 2 spaces when asking for your works to be edited/moved to your profile.
5. Thank you for providing the links to the works in question.
Hi. This book is incorrectly listed as one of mine. I am author of the Off-Earth Evolution trilogy. This is written by someone with the same name, but it is not me. Thanks.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

When you copy a link from one post to another it points to Harry Potter. Which is what has happened here. However I used my modest muggle intuition and I think I figured out which title you were referencing and moved it the correct profile.
Not my book, but two of the Anna Careys have been confused. This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
is written by this Anna Carey:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Citation: her publisher's page, which shows all of her books at the bottom:
https://www.obrien.ie/anna-carey
I'd have edited it myself but I don't seem to have that level of admin rights, or else I just can't figure out how. Thanks!

Hi there. I am Matthew Hodge, author of the book COOL CATS AND A HOT MOUSE: A HISTORY OF JAZZ AND DISNEY. There are two issues I need help with, please! First off, here is the link to my author profile page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...ISSUE #1: There are two copies of my COOL CATS... book listed. I think I accidentally created one before I realized there was already one made for it. The one I'd like to keep is the one that has the cover image showing. I want to delete the duplicate one that has no ratings or cover image showing.
ISSUE #2: This is the only book I've written so far that is on GoodReads. But there are tons of other books listed under my name. Can we delete ALL of these other books from my author profile page? The only one that should be connected to me is the one copy of COOL CATS... (The one with the cover image).
Matthew wrote: "Hi there. I am Matthew Hodge, author of the book COOL CATS AND A HOT MOUSE: A HISTORY OF JAZZ AND DISNEY. There are two issues I need help with, please! First off, here is the link to my author pro..."If by tons you mean six other books, I have moved them to other profiles.
I have combined the two valid editions of Cool Cats so it will only appear once on your profile.

Hello, Please can you delete these books from my author page. I didn’t write them and don’t wish to be associated with them. I feel rather embarrassed and I’d be so grateful if you could stop these books connecting with me...
