Wrong author (with same name) showing up for my book

[Pamela]

Hi! My name is Pamela Carey and I launched my first book yesterday on Amazon. One of my readers kindly added the book to Goodreads without me even asking her to. Unfortunately the wrong Pamela Carey got added to the book (she was already an established author and I guess it assumed it was hers since I did not have an account and just made one). Please link this book to my account. I would greatly appreciate it! Also am I able to edit the book's about and other details?

1. I moved these books to a unique author profile.

2. You have a user profile. You can claim this by going to the author profile page here: Pamela Carey

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 2 spaces: Pamela^^Carey, 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, as this reader did.

7. 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.

8. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 2 spaces.
