1. I moved the book to your profile.2. Goodreads disambiguates between authors of the same name by using spaces before the author's last name.
3. This author profile has 2 spaces: Simon^^Lucas, where the ^ equals a space.
4. 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. Often when users add works, they may not be familiar with the number of spaces that this profile uses, so may only use the default spacing, as your publisher did.
5. You can post in this forum to have it moved as you have done, or you can add the book with the 2 spaces between your first and last name before publication.
6. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 2 spaces.



Please remove this author: Simon Lucas and assign to me as illustrator.
