The author Maryse Conde' (accent over the e) currently has a profile with the accent --- and one without. I don't know how to correct the e and combine the profiles. Thanks ---

Maria, I've merged them -- the way I do it when I don't have the keyboard to make accented characters is to just copy the name from the correct profile and paste it into the incorrect profile's name field.Here's the correct profile, which is going to need some combination work now....
ah ha! That's a smart way to do it. Thanks ---
Combined (to the best of my college french ability)
This book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69...is written by this author: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
But I cannot change the author code or whatever the upper librarians can do to fix it.

So I'm guessing the rest of the books are written by another author also named "Susan Wilson" therefore we cannot simply merge the two profiles... :/

The GR author has two spaces in her name.
This author: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...and this author:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Are the same. Please combine the two. Thanks.
I added in the blog RSS feed and another bit of info and then realized that there are two profiles for her. :/
Here's another with an accent in one profile - please combine. I think the first is correct. Thanks!http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

P.S. Will people still be able to do a author name search without adding in the accent?
