John L. Betcher (johnbetcher) | 25 comments Does someone know how to combine two separate listings of my books The 19th Element and The Missing Element? There is only one edition of each book. Also, one of the listings of The 19th Element has a corrupted book image. I'd rather keep the good image, if possible.

Can someone offer assistance? Thanks so much.

Deborah | 390 comments Which name are you going to use? John Betcher or John L. Betcher ? Have you applied for the author program?

I'm not sure if I have applied for the author program. How would I check?

Thanks,

Before you replied Miss Deborah, I went in and edited the author to "John L. Betcher" and combined his novels. I apologize. I can never tell if I should comment before I do something, or after it's done. Please let me know if I did something wrong.

I think it is fixed now for you Mr. Betcher.

If I may also ask Miss Deborah, should books be listed as having the format "Kindle edition" and "Nook edition" or should they all just be listed as "ebook"?

John L. Betcher (johnbetcher) | 25 comments Thanks to both of you for your help. They are all combined now. Do you have any suggestions on how I could get a proper cover image on The 19th Element? Obviously, I have one on my home computer.

Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

Merry Christmas!

Go here: John L. Betcher, scroll to the bottom where it asks "is this you?" click on that link and follow the directions. Once you are a goodreads author you will be able to change your own profile and books.

Kindle is an actual format and shouldn't be changed, nookbook isn't and should be ebook.

No problem, I just asked because his current profile doesn't have the L. and I didn't want to cause problems if he had already applied to the author program with that name. I left to get groceries anyway, I figured someone would get to it before I returned. If there's not a question I don't normally comment before changing something unless it is a really big job.
