David Lyons I'm the author, David A. Lyons (author profile 56310972).

1. Please merge duplicate author profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... into my profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show....

2. Please update https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- Title: Synchronization (currently "SYNCD")
- Series: The Epochs of Synchronization #0 (currently #1-3)
- Format: Hardcover, ISBN 979-8-9927564-9-4, Vehemently Inked LLC, September 2, 2026
- Cover: https://vehementlyinked.com/syncd/syn...
- Description:
This book is not written about an AI. It is written as one.
Synchronization is not a novel about an artificial intelligence. It is a novel that operates as one. JUNO coordinates the run; the voice emerges across synthetic processes attempting memory, attachment, reasoning, and identity. The reader is not a witness. The reader is a variable.
Cryptoamnesia, Cryptoanomaly, and Cryptogenesis are the three published training epochs. Synchronization is the complete run.

3. Please update the series description for https://www.goodreads.com/series/441682 to replace "The SYNCD series" with "The Epochs of Synchronization." Synchronization is the main work; the three epochs are its foundation.

Thank you.

Scott We cannot merge claimed profiles. Ask support to merge you into the default profile if all the books there are yours. They put you on an alternate profile for some reason.

David Lyons Correction to my request above. Support has since merged the profiles, and that pulled three books onto my profile (56310972) that are not mine. Please move them to a separate David A. Lyons author:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (Oligodendrocytes: Methods and Protocols)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (Solution: See More People: Not Always)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... (In The Image Of God)

My books are the Cryptoamnesia, Cryptoanomaly, and Cryptogenesis titles and Synchronization.

Still needed: please retitle https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... from "SYNCD" to "Synchronization" and set it to #0 in The Epochs of Synchronization (series 441682). I have asked support for the same fix. Thank you.

David Lyons Update: I have retitled the book to "Synchronization" and updated the edition descriptions for the three epochs myself. These items need librarian access:

1. Series position: please set Synchronization (work 291927100, editions 252053160 and 258241163) to #0 in The Epochs of Synchronization (series 441682). It currently shows as #1-3. The epochs stay #1, #2 and #3.

2. Series description for 441682: please replace "The SYNCD series" with "The Epochs of Synchronization".

3. Default descriptions: please set the current edition descriptions as the work defaults for Cryptoamnesia (229558260), Cryptoanomaly (235796478) and Cryptogenesis (247698005). Goodreads only lets librarians set defaults.

Thank you.

David Lyons One more: Cryptogenesis has a duplicate work. Please combine book 249420804 (work 284344478, the Kindle record, ASIN B0GRPWT7XQ) into the Cryptogenesis work that holds book 247698005, so the series shows one Cryptogenesis at #3. Thank you.

David Lyons Two follow-ups:

1. The two Synchronization hardcover listings (252053160 and 258241163) are the same edition. 252053160 has ISBN 9798992756494 but is tied to ASIN B0H17Z7FL1, which no longer exists on Amazon. 258241163 has the live ASIN B0H51FCWN2 and 417 pages but no ISBN. Please merge them into one: ISBN 9798992756494, ASIN B0H51FCWN2, 417 pages, hardcover.

2. Please disregard my Cryptogenesis combine request. Those records are already in the same work.

Well, I did say "if all the books are yours."
