Hi! I've just added a book ASIN B00DEU0EHW

Unfortunately, because I missed out a single period (.) after my middle initial, it hasn't added to my account... Therefore it doesn't come up under my author dashboard for me to muck about with :(

Any chance someone could add it to my real account, please? Many thanks.

Hi, I've a bit of a problem with my book An Ill Wind I've had messages that people are struggling to find my books under my author names (I use two - Karen Perkins and K A Perkins) and I've been fiddling trying to solve the problem, but have ended up with An Ill Wind no longer showing in my author dashboard. I've tried changing the name back to Karen (K.A.) Perkins but it's not working - can you help please?
Thank you

Many thanks for the swift response, mods! :)

Re author profile: Passed this to Staff to fix as we can't.

I would advise against doing this with your name as any new books will be added as per cover and thus none will match with your name. Standard practice would be to use two profiles with a cross reference linking between them. This is especially useful if you use the different names to show differing genres etc.

An author profile name can only be one name, not multiple pen names combined. Reverted back to K.A. Perkins.

For books published under Karen Perkins, I have added K.A. Perkins as an additional author. This will allow all of them to show up on your K.A. Perkins profile.

You may also wish to create an additional Goodreads account (under another email address) to claim that author profile.
