I don't know where to post this so I'm hoping whoever sees this on my page can assist. I've tried to indicate which of the books I've written(some that have reviews already on here) are mine so I can update covers and such for all to see, however when I've gone through the import process, it either times out or tells me it's 'working' and never updates.

Can someone please assist me in figuring out how to update books I've written on here?
