Jacob T. | 2 comments [ISSUE RESOLVED] Hello, I recently published a book: Sins of an Interstellar Species, and I've quickly realized I have the misfortune of sharing a name with an already prolific author. As such, I cannot claim the book or get an author's profile on Goodreads. Considering the overlap in the last name Hefner, and the sort of content my book is now placed next to. I would really like to be able to claim my book.

Great! Thank you, issue resolved. I've already logged into KDP to add my middle initial so that hopefully things auto-register correctly. The update should take effect within 72 hours.
