Since the author name "Kyle James" is on the cover, the primary author will need to match that. I've moved both editions to a new author profile:https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
You can claim this pseudonym/pen name profile if you wish.
I also linked the book to your main "Kyle McCormick" profile. The book pages may take awhile to update due to site caching, but you can see the updates on this page immediately:

Hi Gem,Thank you very much for your assistance. I just went to claim the pseudonym, and it seems the book has already re-linked to the original erroneous account again. If you wouldn't mind moving it back to the new author profile so that I can claim it, I would greatly appreciate it!
Ah, it looks like you modified the author name to remove the space, and in doing so it moved the book back to the other author's profile. I should have mentioned this in my original comment.Goodreads differentiates authors with the same name by adding a space between the first and last name. Therefore your "system name" is Kyle^^James (where the ^ = a space). It's important to not change this when editing your books. Your name will appear like normal everywhere else on the site.
I restored the correct author name so the pen name profile is active again:

I'm just going through the housekeeping of ensuring my above-linked book is added to my profile ahead of my February 24 release date, and I noticed that it has already been added to Goodreads & linked to a different profile with the same name as my pen name. I'm sure it was just ported from Amazon and linked directly to that profile based on the name, but I would like it to be moved to my profile, please!
The book is linked properly on my Amazon account, alongside my other book, "Stranger in a Homeland: A Year in the Land of the Rising Sun," but I'd be happy to provide whatever other information is required to prove that it is my book. Thank you!
