Jaidyn Attard (jaidynlattard) | 12 comments Hi there,

In need of help regarding my author name. My name is credited as Jaidyn Luke Attard for the book There’s a Tale to This City but it does not link on the author page Jaidyn Luke Attard Only my other title, The Street Poet is linked. Both should be there.

For some reason there are two accounts. Jaidyn L Attard and Jaidyn Luke Attard. I only go by the latter, and want both books linked only to that one, which should also have my author headshot, bio, and followers included. Can these two accounts be combined?

Thank you if anyone can sort this out, it's been a thorn in my side for a while!

Jaidyn

Shim (slimmy) | 4848 comments Your claimed author page is "Jaidyn L. Attard". By changing your name on your books you removed the books from your page. I have moved your books back to your page and I sent a request to Goodreads Support to change the name on your profile to show "Luke" instead of the initial. (That will update the books as well.)

I will sit and wait to see what happens. I really appreciate you helping me, thank you. I can see that the books are under Jaidyn L Attard now. Now it's up to Goodreads Support! Bless
