message 1: by William (new)

William Woodall | 5 comments Okay, here's the situation. I'm a Goodreads author and I have several works on the site, but there's another author (long dead, but with the same name as me) and his books are showing up listed as mine. I don't know how to fix this problem. Does anybody know what I should do?

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments This is something librarians can fix! Just give us a list of which books are yours and which ones aren't, and we'll disambiguate the author names so that there are two William Woodalls, one who's you and one who isn't.

William Woodall | 5 comments All right that sounds great. The "Paris After Two Sieges" is not mine, and all the rest are. Thanks!

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments All set! You're William^Woodall, where the ^ represents one space, and the other guy is William^^Woodall. New books by William Woodall will come to your author profile; if any more aren't yours, you can just let a librarian know and they'll shift the books over.

(I also created a series for The Last Werewolf Hunter while I was there -- it looks like the third book was never published except in the omnibus, is that right?)
