I think they're a publishing imprint, but some of these books do have authors/editors.

Jennifer N. | 4 comments I need some help with fixing an author - Tom Franklin
He is listed twice - once as Tom Franklin and once as Franklin, Tom. I cannot combine his profiles because he is a goodreads author.
Tom Franklin: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Franklin, Tom: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Can anyone help?

Fixed. (FYI, I check this thread more often for issues like that. I almost didn't click on the thread we're in.)

Richard Savage | 2 comments Not sure if this is the correct thread for me to post in but I have three books attributed to me which I am not the author of. I am listed as a contributor. I tried removing myself from the author list but just keep getting an error message. Can anyone help me, please? This is my profile: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The books are:
The Works of the English Poets From Chaucer to Cowper Vol. X E-Book

The Works of the English Poets From Chaucer to Cowper Vol. XI E-Book

The Works of Richard Savage Esq: ... with an Account of the Life and Writings of the Author by Samuel Johnson L.L.D. in Two Volumes

Many thanks

Vis (v2blast) | 32 comments Also spotted, a trio of "authors":

Lambert M. Surhone:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Mariam T. Tennoe:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Susan F. Henssonow:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

On the page of the first, it says this:
"Lambert M. Surhone is a proxy for VDM Publishing, which publishes print-on-demand compilations of Wikipedia articles. VDM Publishing's imprints include Alphascript, Betascript, Fastbook Publishing and Doyen Verlag.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDM_Publ... "

Suspicious, methinks.

By the look of this book, I'd say both "authors" are made up & the "editors" are the actual authors. Anyone else agree?

This appears to be 2 people, one author, one cover illustrator. Can't be separated since only one word--again.

How often does goodreads index the books off of Amazon? My short story Kindle showed up here on goodreads but not my second one since there is no ISBN requirement for Kindle. Please help.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Sonia, you can cause an import of a specific book by searching for its ISBN or, in the case of Kindle books, for its ASIN. If the book is currently listed on Amazon and not on GR, searching by ISBN/ASIN will cause it to be immediately imported.

All set. (The one book left is credited to "Budda" on the publisher's website.)

Vis (v2blast) | 32 comments Thanks, Paula (message 1065). I figured Books LLC had been discussed, but didn't know where. Seems VDM Publishing is the same dealio.

...I guess the three "authors" of this "book" (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81...) as well as this other "author" (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...) fall under the same category, then.

Natalie (nkmeyers) | 40 comments I disambiguated Melissa Sweet, USA children's book illustrator from Melissa Sweet (Melissa^^Sweet), Australian Health Writer.

I edited Melissa^^Sweet's health books so that her disambiguated name would be referenced in the author field, but she still only shows 2 books under her profile when really she has contributed to at least five.

Are the three that don't show up on her profile missing because she was not the "first listed" co-author?

What's the right thing to do in this case?

The three that don't show up for her are:
Smart Health Choices: Making sense of health advice

Ten Questions You Must Ask Your Doctor

How Patients Should Think: 10 Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Drugs, Tests and Treatment

Lori (moderatrixlori) | 75 comments There are two authors by the name of Elizabeth Noble.

This one http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

and this one http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/50...

The last one needs to be associated with this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

Can one of you fix this for me please? I'm assuming you'll add a second space to the second Elizabeth Noble?

Thanks!

The second author now has a separate author page: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I suggest she claim it by clicking the "Is this you? Let us know." link at the bottom of the page.
