Jennie Fields (jenniefields) Hello,
I have created an Author profile but my previous books are not listed in my author profile and when I try to add them, it says there is a "previous listing." How do I solve this? Thanks!
See this link for my previous 3 books, Lily Beach, the Middle Ages, and Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.

And here is my author's profile

Thanks!

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments It looks like your author profile was created with two spaces in it, but if both of the Jennie Fields are you, the profiles can be merged together and all of the books will be attributed to you. Just to check: did you contribute a story to this German-language anthology? I noticed a couple of your other novels were translated into German.

Yes, all of these Jennie Fields are me including the German translation and the excerpt in the German anthology. How do I merge them?
Thanks!

Yes, they have been.


Jennie Fields (jenniefields) Thanks so much!


Jennie Fields (jenniefields) Librarians, help! Why can't I see the new reviews that show up regarding my book? Many have been added in September and I can only see a handful...When I look at the newest, they aren't in chronological order and just don't appear. Thanks!

The default sorting algorithm on Goodreads uses a variety of factors to determine the most interesting reviews. Factors include: length of the review, number of people who liked it, recency of the review, popularity of the reviewer (i.e. number of people who have liked reviews by that person across all books).

There is a way to filter reviews, but that's a setting each user adjusts, not the author nor any librarian.


Jennie Fields (jenniefields) I try to see the newest. Something like 14 have been added in the last few days, but I can't see them at all. When I set it at "newest" it shows me one new one, and they're not in chronological descending order. Is this normal?
