D.D. Williams | 3 comments Rebirth Of Order: Un-expected Why Choose Dark Fantasy Romance

My book went to a different D.D. Williams and I can't claim it as mine.

You can claim the page using the link at the bottom where it says "Is this you? Let us know." You can find more information about the Goodreads Author program here.

When filling out the form you will be able to specify which books are yours and which should be moved.

But that D.D. Williams person isn't me. That's a different D.D. Williams.

Shim (slimmy) | 3688 comments It is an unclaimed profile with works by multiple authors with the same name. When filling out the form you will be able to specify which books are yours and which should be moved.

If you prefer I could move your book to a fresh profile that you could claim, but note that it won't be the default profile, so any future books with the author name listed as "D.D. Williams" that are auto-imported will land on this profile and a Librarian will have to move them over for you. Though that works both ways.

I went ahead to claim the profile but only selecting the one book that was mine. Waiting on approval. I hope the profile will merge with my current reader profile.
