I'm not sure if these are the same or not... But if they're not, then some of the books are on the wrong profile (the Hope Haven series is split between them). The one website link is on the second profile, but definitely leads to the first author. Help?

I removed the misplaced author link. You'll need to edit each misplaced book individually, to add a second space between the author's first and last names.

Think I've got it sorted out now. Thanks rivka!
I need a help...Here is the GR author profile
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
and another one is
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Goodreads Authorhttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Author's Pen name (I'm assuming)
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I added the cover to a book that I own and the author name that appears on entry is different from the one on the cover, so I added the name on the cover provisionally. But it seems that the name on the cover is a Pen Name from the author. Sorry for the mistake

Pip Ballantine seems to be using her full name on her GR profile so we're getting Pip Ballantine too. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... is the correct profile.
Dunno whether to suggest she uses Pip on her profile (which seems rude) or to add a redirect on Pip to Philippa...

I'm honestly a little confused by this one. The GR Author is maintaining both author profiles; the one he's claimed (which is formatted oddly, with his unclaimed profile's name in parenthesis after his claimed name) has only anthologies he's contributed to, but the unclaimed profile has all of his novels (which he refers to in length in the description of his anthology-only profile while offering no links to the profile the books are actually attached to). So I'm not sure if he contributes to anthologies under the name he's claimed while writing novels under the unclaimed name, or if he's just maintaining two separate profiles because he doesn't know how to combine them, or what.
It's been a while singe I posted one. Hopefully I remember how to do it! :) How's things going rivka?Charles Duhigg

Wow, er, "Kristen Bishop" has reappeared again? Already in the database as "K.J. Bishop," and also, Kristen is not even her name, it's Kirsten!
