Sarah B. | 45 comments "Frank" is the pseudonym of author Franck Reichert, a French comic book artist. On Goodreads, the author name "Frank" is already being used by a tarot card reader (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...).

Normally the way to separate out two authors' works is to add spaces between the first and last names of one of the authors, but in this case, there is only one name. I tried adding a space after it, but it got removed.

Has anyone come across this issue before? How should I resolve it?
