Mark A. Arcuri Hello, and thank you in advance for your help.

I am the author of A Life Aligned. There are currently four separate Goodreads records for this book. I would be grateful for help combining the editions and correcting the author name, so that ratings and reviews are unified under one work and all editions link to a single author record.

The three records below are the 2026 Revised Edition in different formats (paperback, ebook, and audiobook). Could these please be combined as editions under a single work?

This fourth record is the original 2008 edition, and it currently shows "Unknown Author." Could the author please be corrected? I am happy for it to remain a separate earlier edition or to be combined under the same work, whichever follows Goodreads convention.

Across all of these records, the author should read Dr. Mark A. Arcuri. Some currently show "Mark Arcuri" without the middle initial, and one shows "Unknown Author." The correct, canonical form is Dr. Mark A. Arcuri, with the middle initial included. My Author Program application is currently pending approval, so please link all editions to the single "Mark A. Arcuri" author record.

Thank you very much for your time and help.
Dr. Mark A. Arcuri

Mark A. Arcuri Update, and thank you again for the help.

I have since been approved as a Goodreads Author, and I was able to combine the revised-edition records myself. That work is now correct: "A Life Aligned: The Journey to Allowing the Magic in Your Life" with three editions (Kindle, Paperback, and Audible Audio), attributed to Dr. Mark A. Arcuri (Goodreads Author).

What I cannot fix from my dashboard is the author attribution on two remaining records. Both appear to be attached to author entities that are not linked to my Goodreads Author profile, so I am unable to combine them:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Shows the author as "Unknown Author," dated 2008-01-15, 1 edition, no cover image.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Published 2007, 4 editions, author shows as "Mark A. Arcuri" without the Goodreads Author link.

Could these two records please be reassigned to my Goodreads Author record, and then all editions combined into the single work? These are all editions of the same book, the original and its revised edition, so per the combining guidelines they belong together as one work.

For the combined work, the correct credits are:

Author: Dr. Mark A. Arcuri
Sonia Castleberry (Editor)
Uriel Ramírez (Illustrator)

My author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

If you need anything further from me to verify, I am glad to provide it. Thank you for your time.

Mark A. Arcuri Bumping this one. Still hoping for help with the combine and the missing author and author correction. Thank you, as always.
