Tailtiu | 505 comments 3 of your books were under an other author's profile, I moved them and added the missing covers. You are Nancy__O'Neill (__= 2 spaces)
there's also Nancy O'Neill and Nancy O'Neill Breth please check the books under your profile if there's one still missing.

ETA: I checked the Changelog there were no covers changed or deleted before.

lethe | 16369 comments There is nothing screwed up about it. You are Nancy^^O'Neill (^ denotes a space). Goodreads uses spaces to differentiate authors with the same name. You can hardly blame Goodreads that there are other authors with the same name as you.

Import bots automatically add books to the default profile (with one space), which is what happened with those books. You only need ask here to have them moved to your profile.

If you had the default profile, you would have to ask here to have other Nancy O'Neill's books moved from your profile.

lethe | 16369 comments Tailtiu had already moved Her Way Out to your profile. The two Guess What books are also on your profile, with covers. Maybe they were not visible straightaway, due to caching.

For Bitten by the Business Bug you are mentioned as an editor. I haven't moved the book to your profile yet, because Goodreads doesn't normally list editors, and your name doesn't show on the cover. Are you the copy editor, or another type of editor?

I moved the 3 books to your profile and added the covers. The covers weren't there before...are you sure about seeing them here?

I'm not sure if that qualifies, but I've moved the book to your profile for now.

The author is listed and on the cover as Jason O'Neill and so there's a GR-profile for him. You can not claim the book but he could claim the profile.
