J.R. Elrod Hi librarians,
I need help with a duplicate book listing and an author profile cleanup for my book Frozen Freight Iron Reach.
The book currently appears as two separate listings, both attached to an unclaimed author profile that is not me.
Listing one: Frozen Freight: Iron Reach by Elrod Jr with Elrod as Editor
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Listing two: Frozen Freight Iron Reach by JR Elrod, Elrod Jr, Rebecca Elrod (Editor)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Both refer to the same book. Could you combine them into a single edition?
Book details:
Paperback ISBN: 9798993853505
EPUB ISBN: 9798993853512
Kindle ASIN: B0GXJZD3XV
Pub date: April 27, 2026
Author: JR Elrod
I am the author. My verified Goodreads author profile is:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The duplicate listings are currently attached to this unclaimed author profile, which is not me:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I believe the duplication may have occurred when I corrected my author name from "Elrod Jr" to "JR Elrod" in Goodreads. The original auto-generated profile remained, and a second profile was created under the corrected name with a new copy of the book.
Could you attach the combined book listing to my verified author profile, and if possible, merge the unclaimed Elrod Jr profile into my verified profile so the existing ratings and reviews carry over?
Thank you for your help.
JR Elrod

Alison Fixed. Some pages take a while to reflect updates. Periods are required in initials on Goodreads. Note that editors aren't listed for single-author fiction.

Please change your "shelf display name" back to Elrod, J.R. This is a field that should be Lastname, Firstname.
