Angel Graham (angel_graham) | 9 comments I am trying to help an author named Rob Graham to add one of his titles from Amazon to his page of books. (Yes, this is my husband)

This is the profile for the correct Rob Graham:
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/51...

This is the book that is listed at Amazon correctly, but neither of us can figure out how to get it added here at Goodreads.

Gillian's Place by Rob Graham

Product Details

* Format: Kindle Edition
* File Size: 477 KB
* Publisher: Aspen Mountain Press (February 19, 2009)
* Sold by: Amazon Digital Services
* Language: English
* ASIN: B004INHG98

Here is the author's ISBN number as he has it.
ISBN FOR GILLIAN'S PLACE: 978-1-60168-114-09

Here is the WRONG authors name and the one book that is listed for him that is not his.

The Gift is not his book, but should be correctly listed under my husband (Rob Graham). I don't know about the others.

If someone could direct me on how to properly add "Gillian's Place" for my husband, I would greatly appreciate it. (I do have Librarian Status). Thanks you so much.

All those books were written by your husband except "The Gift", correct?

I thought she was saying that "The Gift" and "Gillian's Place" were the only two written by her husband. It looks like her husband hasn't joined the author's program yet.

Aha! Ok, sorted.

And yeah, I would suggest that he join the author program. He can request to do so by clicking the "Is this you? Let us know." at the bottom of the author profile page.

Angel Graham (angel_graham) | 9 comments Okay. I'll suggest that to him first. The Gift, Gillian's Place, Lunchtime, Breaking the Covenants, Warding the Covenants, Discovery and In the Dark were all written by him. (The correct Rob Graham with the first link).

Okay. It looks like we now have two profiles for him. I'll let you know which two are proper and can be combined.

http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/51...

and

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

are the two right ones.

I'm sorry that I'm so confused. *smiles* Thanks Rivka for sorting that part out. I'll talk to him about joining the Author's Program.

The way to get a user profile and an author profile combined IS by joining the author program.

The merged author profile with all 7 of those books is now this one.

Angel Graham (angel_graham) | 9 comments kk. He is joining the author program right as we speak. Talking him through it on Skype. (He lives in Canada, I live in States for now)

Thanks Rivka.

FYI: Requests get approved every 24-48 hours -- it's not instantaneous.
