[OPEN] Please combine two author pages for same author

[Judy]

Hello Team Librarians, I have just released my latest Kindle on Amazon The Sand People: a collection of magical realism and other stories under my new author name J A Croome. My other books were written under Judy Croome.

The author profile number for my new book written as J A Croome is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
J A Croome

The author profile for all my other books (as well as my followers, the books I've read and reviewed over the years, my friends etc) is Judy Croome https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Judy Croome

When I went to add The Sand People manually, it showed that it was already in the Goodreads database under an automatically created author page J A Croome. I have updated the author info on this page.

As I do not want to lose all the history & connections from the Judy Croome profile, what is the best way for me to change my active author page (Judy Croome) to combine with and, more importantly, show up as the new author profile J A Croome?

Or do I have to start with J A Croome as a completely new profile and just abandon the Judy Croome profile?

And how do I then claim this new J A Croome profile as mine as my email address is linked to the old author name Judy Croome?

Your assistance is much appreciated. Thank you and Regards Judy Croome (writing as J A Croome) Johannesburg South Africa
