Annalea (iannalea) I wanted to add a book to my shelf that wasn't on GR, so when I saw the add option, I decided to do it. Unfortunately, it linked the book to a different author with the same name.

Here is the book I added: Doctor Deathworm Rises (Gross, Vol 1), by Lee Davis.

book's Amazon page

author website

Hope this doesn't cause too much trouble. I learned my lesson.

Does the correct author have any other books on Goodreads?


message 3: by Annalea (new)

Annalea (iannalea) No, he doesn't.

Kim | 607 comments You're fine to add his other books if you want just when putting in the author put two spaces between his first and last name - Lee^^Davis

Peggy Henderson (peggyhenderson) | 8 comments I am the author of a book I tried to add under my books, and I must have done something wrong. Can someone move the book Yellowstone Dawn by Peggy L Henderson to my author account? Sorry, I don't know the link, but here's the first book in that series, which would take you to my correct page Yellowstone Heart Song

That page also lists the other three books in my series. Also, the titles Yellowstone Awakening (book 3) and Yellowstone Dawn (book 4) should be linked as belonging to the Yellowstone Romance Series, If someone could do that, that would be great. Someone weeks ago did that for book 1 and 2 (I have no idea who). Once Yellowstone Dawn is moved to my correct author page, I will add a cover. Thanks so much in advance!

Just remember to add the . after the L
Peggy L. Henderson

The other books should show up on the series listing on your author page in a day or so, but they're on the series page
