Patrick Smith Back in 2014, I created my Goodreads account, the one I’m using now, and posted three books here. Recently, after not logging in for many years, I logged in with no problem and discovered that my books were gone.

I found them, and posted a comment regarding this in this group, and a librarian put the books into a new profile. Then I filled out a claim form and was rejected. Before filling out a second form, I explicitly posted on my author website, ephemeralspecies.com, a callout to Goodreads showing my email and a link to the exact books on my amazon page. I use the same email on Amazon.

I filled out a claim form and got rejected again. I followed the guidelines detailed in the rejection email and on the guideline page.

My books on Goodreads are; 'Ephemeral Species Book One - The Dawning'
SBN
9781311256737 (ISBN10: 1311256733)
ASIN
1311256733

'Ephemeral Species Book Two - Survival'
ISBN
9781311180834 (ISBN10: 1311180834)
ASIN
1311180834

ASIN

Inspirational Landscape Photography: 40 Images Described - Book 1
SIN

On Amazon, here is may page with the books and a photo of me, exactly the same as my profile photo on Goodreads.

My website clearly shows my work on the ephemeral species book and where it’s located.

What else to I have to do to prove I wrote these books and that I am me?

Thanks for your help!

Patrick
