One Author - Two Names

[[deleted user]]

I'm a GR Author - Kae Cheatham, who also has titles as K. Follis Cheatham. I'd like to have all the titles combined on my Author Page (Amazon has already done this) and also include my new Kindle titles, which have the name Kae Cheatham. I'd gladly do it myself, if I had instructions.

Information will be appreciated.

Kae, currently the only way to do that here would be to list all your books under a single name (maybe Kae Follis Cheatham?)

Thanks, rivka.

I would prefer Kae Cheatham. Kindle editions are that, and future titles will use that name. But how do I get them from Amazon to my Author Page, since the name is different? Will Goodreads accept that I'm listing K Follis Cheatham books as mine (and they are)?

I can merge the profiles, but that means that anyone searching for K. Follis Cheatham may have trouble. Please confirm that you want me to do that, and that these books are all yours? And what about these?

Rivka, if you can do that it would be much appreciated.
All of the books are mine. The ones with K Follis Cheatham are older and not many people will be looking for them. This page will show how the names have become convoluted.
I have been writing as Kae Cheatham for the last five books and for all titles that come out in the future. It is also the name on my nonfiction books (Crocodiles and Dennis Banks).
Some fiction Kindle editions went live in May, with more to come.

Let me know if you need more info.

Done. I also added a note about your aka's on your profile.

Thank you, rivka!

Okay, another question, rivka. Where do the KINDLE editions show? I don't see them in my book list.

Also missing Kansas Dreamer: Fury in Sumner County (print - one of the K . Follis Cheatham books). Only the Audio version is showing.

The Kindle editions do not seem to be auto-importing (some do, and some don't, and only Amazon knows why), but you can create them manually if you like. I see two editions of Fury in Sumner County.

Hmm. I went into my book page and added the Kindle cover and info. I don't know how to delete that second entry.

I can probably add the Kindle editions for the others manually, too.

I merged the Kindle editions, and then combined with the other editions of that work.

Thanks I'm adding my Kindle editions manually.

Oops. I've got a double entry for The Adventures of Elizabeth Fortune Kindle. One with the cover, one without. Please combine.

Seeing as this is now a year plus later, I was wondering if it still stands the same that authors who publish under two names but only want one profile have to choose between their names?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Unfortunately, yes. The "aka feature" is much-desired (and much discussed among the developers), but so far has proven extremely difficult to implement.

Drat! Or zoot. Hopefully one day!
