Why do we think this is the same person?"


If it isn't then all his books are likely to be wrong. This is his blog which is linked from one of his books, NOT his author page (could you could add that?):
http://richardleech.wordpress.com/
It shows his Button dog book.
Click on "About the Author" and we get "I am a retired Professor, emeritus, of neuropathologist who has spent his life in academia. I have written 70+ scientific articles on topics ranging from infants on." This is a perfect match for the mergee book.

Poor guy, they must think his writing is as sharp as a nail.

Banjomike | 5166 comments 2 names, the book is Anna Karine
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Before you fix this one can you explain why searching for Anabella Franco produces zero results while seaching for Anna Karine finds the book. Why should the brackets affect the search in that way?

The answer to any question that begins that way is no. The search is as much a black box to me as it is to you.

with Darynda Jones

the first looks like they tried to put the title in the authors name and I can't edit because she is a GR author

Banjomike | 5166 comments a fake death date
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

the date of birth is later than the date of death which suggests a bug somewhere
