Added 3 combined editions but can't delete authors

[J.B.]

Hi. I'm new to the author program and added three editions of a book I co-authored: The Kronos Interference. I added the paperback a few days ago, then today added the Kindle edition and the ebook edition. I managed to combine all three after I realized I had to list my Goodreads author name "J.B. Manas" (with a space before my last name) as the primary author on all three. When I went to delete the extra author names (without the space), it wouldn't let me. It said "Error, try again."

Ideally, I'd like all three listed as Edward Miller and J.B. Manas (the order they're listed in on the book). My co-author Edward Miller isn't on Goodreads though as a Goodreads author. I'd settle for our names being in any order, but I'd like to get rid of the extra author names if possible.

Any help would be appreciated!

Fixed. (Edward Miller's name has been moved into the first place as his name is listed on the book first.)

Amara, I noticed that the profile and bio for Edward Miller is the wrong Edward Miller. The Edward Miller for this book does not have other books published. The profile is listing another author who's apparently written children's books.

Also, is it possible for two authors to appear in the About the Author section, or is it only set up for one author?

[Amara]

It seems there are multiple Edward Millers already in the system, and that their profiles could use a bit of cleaning up. Has the Edward Miller of The Kronos Interference written other works? If so, can you name them, please, or direct me toward a list I can use to fix up the profiles?

As for the About the Author section, I believe it's limited to whichever author is displayed first...?

[J.B.]

Ah, Edward Miller of The Kronos Interference has not written other works. I can provide a bio if needed but not sure where to put it.

[Amara]

Alright, there are tons of Edward Millers in the system. The first free profile I could get him was Edward^^^^^^^Miller. We use spaces for disambiguation, so this Edward Miller has seven spaces in between his first and last name to distinguish him from the others.

If you can provide a bio for him, that would be much appreciated. Beyond the biography paragraph field, we also have fields for date of birth, country of birth, city of birth, influences, genre, twitter username, and official website, so if you can provide those details, please do! Also, if he has a blog, we can link the RSS feed.

Unless you have librarian status, I'll have to do it. (But if you do have librarian status, you would do it by going to his profile and hitting "edit data".)

Edit: I put the bio paragraph in, but the RSS feed comes up with an error when I try to input it. Apparently there's a limit, and as you've already attached it to your profile, the system won't allow me to attach it to his.

A blog feed can only be connected to a single author profile.

However, if a blog has two feeds (like RSS and Atom), one can be assigned to one profile and one to the other.

Ah ok, thanks again, Amara! At least he's set up now as the correct author.

[J.B.]

Thanks to you too Rivka!
