I will take care of this, and be back - but in the future, please provide links to the works in question.

2. You have a user profile. You can claim this author profile by going to this page: Kevin McDonald
scroll down and click on the link that says is this you?
3. There are already authors with the same name.
4. Goodreads disambiguates between authors of the same name by using spaces before the author's last name.
5. This author profile has 3 spaces: Kevin^^^McDonald, where the ^ equals a space.
6. 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.
7. You can post in this forum to have it moved as you have done, or you can add the book with the 3 spaces between your first and last name before publication.
8. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 3 spaces.
9. I have added your bio info from Amazon, but after you claim the profile, you can edit it as you choose.

I can't establish a profile because I can't claim my books to begin the process. How do we correct this?
