Based on the number of books, moving the Irish author to a new profile and keeping the narrator as the default profile makes indeed the most sense. And then a third profile for all the unidentified authors with this name.
Sounds good, I'll get a thread going in the Projects folder sometime soon.
I know that authors aren’t supposed to contact reviewers and I’m hoping perhaps librarians can. Linda left a wonderful 5-star review on both Goodreads and Amazon…but the next day the Amazon review was 1-star (same lovely review). I’m sure this was an accident, and I suspect Linda would be happy to correct, if I could let her know. Her 1-star dropped my Amazon score from 4.6 to 4.5–not huge but as an Indie author, every point counts.GOODREADS: Linda Harris

Great read
One of the best thrillers I’ve ever read! Maloof has spun a great story and very interesting mystery. Combining modern technology and a beautiful love story. The main character is a very intelligent, resourceful woman. A nice change from the Superman male characters.

We certainly can't do anything about Amazon, as this is Goodreads.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... – This is ostensibly the author page for someone named Ben Allen. For some reason, it’s been given the author photo and bio for the actor John Allen Nelson. I’m going to ask for that to be corrected in another thread.
However, there are at least two Ben Allens on Goodreads. One is a self-published Irish author, the other is a prolific audiobook narrator. Aside from the books that can be confirmed as belonging to author Ben Allen and narrator Ben Allen, there’s also a bunch of other random self-published editions.
My assumption would be that the random unconfirmed author editions could all be moved over to a generic blank-except-for-the-name author page, since whoever wrote them doesn't have an Amazon page or a personal website to provide more information. However, the question is: should the page linked above be converted to the self-published author or the audiobook narrator’s page? I would assume the author would get moved to a new page, since he only has a couple books and would be easier to move, but I wanted to ask for librarian input just in case.
