John Pye (ditaylor) | 1 comments Hi, hoping you can help me out. I am an author with several books listed on Goodreads. I have today logged on to update the list of books I have authored with my latest book ‘Pray To The Devils’. I noted that the book is already listed, but not under my own author page. I was about to start with the necessary input when I noticed that several books by different ‘Mr Pye’s’ are now on my page as though authored by me. I wondered if you could amend this by removing these. The books in question (not mine) are
‘The Man Who Loved May’ by Brent Pye (although listed under the name John Pye) ISBN:9781440179273 (ISBN10: 1440179271)ASIN 1440179271.
Ferry Boat Fred (by John Pye) ASIN B0DMKW2ZCJ
The Book of John (by John Pye) ISBN 9781092629201 (ISBN10: 1092629203) ASIN 1092629203
An Auction of Laughs (by John Pye) ISBN 9780992994105 (ISBN10: 0992994101) ASIN 0992994101
The Tiwi Islands (by John Pye) ISBN 9780959878721 (ISBN10: 0959878726) ASIN 0959878726
When I click for more books by John Pye (against my name) I find even more listings which are not my work: Pompeiana (by William, Gell, John P Gandy and John Pye) ISBN 9781342175335 (ISBN10: 1342175336) ASIN 1342175336
Notes and Memoranda respecting the Liber Studiorum of JMW Turner (by John Pye) ASIN B0FFVRY2KT
A further edition of Notes and Memoranda respecting the Liber Studiorum of JMW Turner (by John Lewis Roget and John Pye) ISBN 9783388008011 (ISBN10:3388008019) ASIN 3388008019
I also note that my latest actual book ‘Pray to The Devils’ seems to be listed twice. One version has an additional bracketed sentence saying (The Brenan and Scott Series. Book 2) ISBN: 9781999653552 (ISBN10: 1999653556) ASIN B0FFBJ17DJ
The second version shows without this extra line and only has an ASIN number: 1999653556. This is a different ASIN number than the above version but I do note that it contains the exact same digits as shown in the ISBN10 above.
I can confirm that this book is my work and has only ever been produced in one original edition although it is available in paperback and Kindle from Amazon.
This does seem like a real tangle and I do hope you can unravel it for me. I’m eager to update the full details of my new book ‘Pray to the Devils’ on you site and have been particularly disappointed with the books performance considering it is going so well with thos who have been able to find it. I believe that the mix-up may well be responsible for the book’s lack of visibility.
Cheers
John Pye

Scott | 10620 comments I have moved Pray to the Devils to your profile.

None of the other books you list are on your profile, so I don't know why they are of concern to you.
