I found this, and am working on it. Let me know when you get the cover uploaded.
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: Tammy Green
scroll down and click on the link that says is this you?
3. There are already several 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: Tammy^^Green, 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. It is simply systemic. 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 you did so you may have reason to ask in this forum to have that issue corrected.
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.
Thank you SUZI! This was extremely helpful. Can I upload the cover photo?
"Hope CAW Anthology Winter 2020". She is not the author of the other books currently listed under Tammy Green, including "Chicago Cupcake Wars". Please separate these two authors.
