Jan Combs (financialaidsense) | 2 comments Greetings. I have an author profile with one of my books. For whatever reason the second book that I wrote will not show up and add to my author profile even though both books are written by me using the same name exactly. Not sure where else to look.....thanks! :)

Almost. There was an extra space in the author name of the second book.

All fixed.

Peter Green (writerpeter) | 3 comments I have the same problem as Jan. I have one book on goodreads under my author profile: 5864519.Peter_H_Green, username,writerpeter. and another ID under 10497422-peter-green and another that I created inadvertently under Peter_H_Green, which I tried to delete, but there is no "delete profile" button, so I tried to delete all the data in the boxes, except it made me keep "Peter". Now I can't access my Author profile and it doesn't credit my second book, which it did
as recently a a month ago. My two books are:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
Can you help me clean up this mess? Thanks! Peter

You may want to contact Goodreads Support to help sort this out (unless Rivka comes along and works her magic!). Lafon got your books situated but you still have a personal profile and a claimed Goodreads Author profile. Ideally, I suspect you would want them to be under the same account, which a librarian can not do.

Support can merge the two accounts for you. Let them know which email address you want to keep on the account.

Use the "contact us" link on the help page to reach Support, and include links to both profiles.
