I do not believe the author listing for this one is correct. According to the cover, the author is Dani Amore. I looked her up on Amazon.com and was given a different author profile and photo as well.

I would agree, I think it will take somebody a good bit of work, because most of his books have the name on the cover, but are attributed to the name attached to the record.Not sure I have time now, to fix them all, so maybe somebody can start working on it.
If you go to Dan Ames' webpage http://authordanames.com/my-books/ the books are listed and have covers with that name. He must have previously published under the other name or something.I see there was a post by Dan Ames where he signs it Dani Amore. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
So frustrating when they do this! After I posted this I did some more research on the author. They really confuse their readers when they run them in circles like this. Thank you both for your assistance.
Should we put the second author name on the books Philip, and if so, which one first?? All the GR covers show Dani Amore, but the website shows all Dan Ames, with no mention of any pseudonym.
It would depend on which name the books were authored under first.I would guess that if you look it up the original author name was Dani Amore, since the current editions are showing as dan ames. The few I checked on that have dani Amore have a pub date that is older than the new editions with the Dan Ames name.
All books that have been released with both names I would put with "Dani Amore" first and "Dan Ames" second, but it looks like a large number of the books have only been released under the Pen Name so they usually would not get the real name (Would have to review the manual to see the rules on that one).

When this happens, the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under - so the reissued edition would need its primary author name changed to the originally published pen name, with the additional name added as secondary for all editions with it on the cover. Doing this will allow the various editions to be combined.The question is not which is the real name and which the pen-, but under which name the very earliest edition was published.
The author listed for https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
is the wrong Lawson Murray. The correct author(me) is

#8 corrected. Please provide the correct ISBN, because it is incomplete.Are the other books on that profile yours as well? https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Please start a new thread in future, this thread is dedicated to a specific book.

Please start..."
The two books listed there are not mine. I've just added my middle initial to limit confusion in future.
ISBN for Divine Design is 978-1-927858-15-8

Ok... similar problem.I have my correct name here, but it's not linking to me or my author page:

#13 Please start a new thread for this. As I said, this thread is linked to a specific book and the original request may become obscured. Thanks!
