Chris Almeida (chrisalmeida) | 29 comments Cecilia and I authored four published books together and have two upcoming books to be released in the summer.
Our issue revolves around the authoring of the books and how they are linked in Goodreads.
For example, if you open Countermeasure, although you can see the two authors under the title, the author bio on the right hand side links only to my bio and not to Cecilia's. Also, when you create a group topic about the book, only one author is listed.
Also, the series our books belong to show on my author page but not on Cecilia's.
Is there a way to have this modified to include both authors' bios on the book's page, the series on her page, as well as when it's listed throughout the site?

Thank you,

Chris

The first ("primary") author on a book is linked to the book in a different way that all secondary authors. Unfortunately, there's no way around that, at least not currently.

Chris Almeida (chrisalmeida) | 29 comments I hope that the issue is taken into account in the future when system upgrades are planned.
Thank you for replying so quickly.

You're not the only pair of GR Authors so affected, of course. We've looked at the issue before, but it would require major changes to how the database works, so it's not likely to change soon.
