The issues are due to incorrect metadata imported from Amazon.
Unfortunately, I cannot intervene on the source.
Below are the requested corrections, one by one:
1) Zack Beachamp → Zack Beauchamp
Current incorrect author page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Important note: this author is a namesake of another Zack Beauchamp, but they are different people and must not be merged.
Existing correct but different author page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
2) Herman Sapo Descontito → Herman Sapo Descontento
Incorrect author page created by metadata import:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
There is no risk of homonymy in this case.
3) Jessica Otto → Jessica D. Otto
The book has been incorrectly attributed to:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The correct author is:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
4) Possible merge request:
A duplicate author page was created for Ariel Lane:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
This should be merged with the existing author page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Thanks in advance for your help, and please let me know if you need further information.
