Stacy Bennett | 2 comments Dear Librarians,

My author page is: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I have had this profile for nearly 10 years.

The book listed below is not mine and should be removed from my page. Although that author's name is the same as mine, I did not produce it.

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

The Balanced Life Journal: A Guided Workbook for Stress-Free Living, Financial Freedom, Deep Connections & Work-Life Balance

I tried to find an author profile for this person to be able to message them to let them know to add their books to their own profile but i cannot find one here or on Amazon. there also her books link to my profile.

Is there any way for you to let them know that this keeps happening? They need their own profile so they get the credit for their books..

Thank you in advance
