Yes, I did write the foreword.

I've spoken with the author and the 'publisher' and requested that my name be removed.

I've been told that they have removed me from the metadata but I'm still listed.

It is valid data then, and cannot be removed.

But it's appearing on my author page as one of my titles. I didn't write the book.

They are still displayed on my page this afternoon. Does it take time for them to disappear? Thank you.

Emily | 2 comments Hello. My author page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The books 'Greeks, Geeks and Getting There' and 'Lawyers, Losers, and Letting Go' should not be listed on my author page. The name of the author for these works was incorrect has been been updated, as is now reflected on Amazon. Many thanks for your help!

We don't remove author names from editions.
I have added an alternate cover edition with the new cover for Lawyers that is on Amazon. You can ask Support to make that the primary edition that shows on the page.

I removed the names from Greeks, because I don't see a previous cover that had them.

Hi Emily. Thanks for your response. I see that you have changed the authorship of Greeks, Geeks, and Getting there. However, as far as I can see, this work is still listed on my author page, where it should not be as there was an error in the original reporting of the name. I would like to have this book and the other one both not listed on my author page.

Author names stay on each subsequent edition of Lawyers as it was first published that way, per Goodreads policy. I added N.B. Rochestor as a secondary author per the new cover edition on Amazon. As I said, you can ask Support to set the new one as the default edition.

For Greeks you will have to wait a day or so before it goes away completely, as Goodreads is heavily cached.

What's the full first publication date for Kew Pocketbooks: Festive Flora? Amazon.com gives me 5 September 2022, Amazon.co.uk gives me 1 October 2021, etc.
