Matthew Dave | 2 comments I'm Matthew J. Dave, and I write the Stories of Segyai series.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

While my first trilogy's kindle editions show up under my author page, the rest of my novels (Cheegal's Chance, Lanna's Liberation, Naraxa and the Copycat Killer, Naraxa and the Dead Florist) are all showing up under THIS Matthew Dave, who has apparently written a Kid's Party planning book I never wrote:

At any rate, I'd just like the Stories of Segyai books to be united under the same author page. Cheers in advance.

It should be noted all of the book on the second Matthew Dave's profile are mine save the Kids Party Books for Beginners, so that means all these:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

In addition you can see with the bottom four, they're a pair of multi-edition cases which need merging.

So yeah, sorry for the multi-step issue, a real SNAFU here.

Yes, such things happen a lot, but good news. They are all on your profile now, and I combined some editions + I added the series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3938...

Is it correct that Cheegal's Chance = book 4? It didn't say anywhere... If not, let me know and I'll change it.

As a Goodreads Author, you have the ability to add​ and edit your books ​and your author profile (for instance add a photo + your personal website) yourself. There is a link right under your book list on your profile. Use that to add any other book.
This link also can help you, it explains what information should go where and for instance how the titles should be in Goodreads and when they are part of a series: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Please help the Librarians to focus on the requests that are still open, by moving this topic to the "Archived" folder (and your other completed requests*). I can't do that. Instructions:
1. Click on the tiny "edit"-button at the right of the topic's title (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app)
2. Change the folder to "Archived"
3. Don't forget to click on "SAVE"

Greetings

* It would be great if you moved all your 'done' requests about adding new books/editions to the "[Closed] Added Books/Editions" folder and all the other 'done' requests to the "Archived" folder. Go to the Home page of the Goodreads Librarians Group and click on "My Group Topics" (find an example screen shot here.).

Hi Linde.

Yes, Cheegal's Chance is book four, and while Amazon lists this, goodreads does not. Thankfully, now they're under my author page I can do the rest of the curation myself! Cheers for your work!

Linde | 6549 comments You're welcome! Tip for any future books, add it quickly after you add it to Amazon, or even before that. When the ISBN or ASIN already exists on Goodreads, the bot will not add it anywhere else. So also not to the other Matthew's profile.
