Lewis S. Kingston (lewis_s_kingston) | 6 comments Hello, all – I was wondering if I could have some help on the following matter.

There is a book I've written coming out soon (Cars: 10 Things You Should Know, by Lewis Kingston) that, having been automatically added to the site, is currently credited to the wrong Lewis Kingston.

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

I (the author of the book) do have an active profile here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

However, my current profile name is 'Lewis S. Kingston' (originally as a differentiator from the existing author, and perhaps because I might later use a new, me-specific 'Lewis Kingston' for non-fiction work).

I have spoken to the publisher and they're happy for Cars: 10 Things You Should Know to be associated with my 'Lewis S. Kingston' profile, for the foreseeable at least, to avoid any confusion between authors in the meantime.

Is that possible, given the difference in author profile name and cover name? If so, adding the Cars book to my Lewis S. Kingston profile would be much appreciated.

If there are any questions or issues, or if I'll need to do something different instead, do just let me know – and thank you in advance for your help and time.

(For reference, in case it's of use, there is a post on the publisher's website with a similar profile picture and mention of my fiction work here: https://www.orionbooks.co.uk/contribu...)
