M.J. (meghangodbout) | 2 comments Hi - I have a few books that have somehow become unlinked to my author profile due to a legal name change, though some of them were updated successfully. Is there a way someone can add them back to my profile and update my author name to M. Alexandria, please?

The Cobra's Lair

The Burnt House

Current author profile: M. Alexandria

Thank you very much!

-M.

Shim (slimmy) | 3681 comments The primary author on books on Goodreads must match their covers. I have added your current profile as a secondary author on the linked books.

Note that if you edit the author name on one of your book records on Goodreads it will be unlinked it from your author page.

If you want, you can claim the other profiles (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) using separate accounts.
