T.L. Schaefer | 18 comments Another author created a profile of TL Schaefer (no periods after the initials) and claimed ten of my books (I think it's accidental).

My profile is T.L. Schaefer (WITH periods after my initials) at https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The incorrect profile is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thank you for any help!

Should I request individual transfers for each of the 10 books that were claimed by the other author?

Sandra | 31482 comments Actually, your name on amazon is TL Schaefer, which is why amazon imported them to GR using that name.

Please ensure that your amazon name matches your GR name.

Done.

T.L. Schaefer | 18 comments Thank you so much - I'll make sure my name matches going forward. Thank you for that clarification!
