Does the author have some kind of block. I would get a message that said can't do it because of the author. Maybe she has a lock so that no one can change anything.
The author is part of the GR Author program so her profile can't be edited and other authors can't be merged into her, but her books should be entirely editable, including the author field.
That is what I thought, but wasn't sure. I know I have corrected other things and it was fine. This is just strange.

Hi, all. This just popped up on my Google Alert, and I wanted to ask you exactly what the problems were... or are. I'm happy to try and resolve them, but it's not clear to me what's amiss... Please fill me in. And thanks for verbalizing... :)
Howdy, Libby! There was a technical issue on one book that was keeping it off of your author profile, but that's been fixed.I think I have the major books in your series sorted out again, but could you check on them here?

And a bunch of your short stories which were published as stand-alone ebooks were lost in the purge of Amazon data a couple of months ago. If you can recognize anything now showing up as "Unknown" (by series position, shelving, ISBN, ASIN, etc.) could you use the "rescue this edition" form to restore them? If you can't, you can just leave them for now -- GR is still trying to track down alternate sources of information for the lost books.
If you spot anything else wrong in your book list, please do let us know!
My two stand alones are not on the list.. .they would beSET THE NIGHT ON FIRE
and
A BITTER VEIL
Will go hunting for the short stories.
That link was just to your series, so it shouldn't include the stand-alone books; you can see your full list of books here, which does show those two stand-alones:http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...
Great. Thanks. Let me see what I can do with the short stories... the problem is that most of them were published separately on Amazon alone. Only a few went to B&N and Apple.
There is something wrong with this author's books -- I cannot get The Last Page to move onto the proper account even by cutting and pasting the correct author name from a correct book's edit page.
Also, all of the author's series now have one primary book, Easy Innocence, which should not be in any of the series except Georgia Davis. Other books which should be in these series are not. I know I did some work on these series a while ago, although this may have been before series had change logs, but there's nothing in the current change logs since 2010 (and I doubt this has gone unnoticed for that long!).
Can anyone figure out what's gone wrong here?
