Spades | 17 comments This might be tricky and a bit tedious.

There are a couple of books, Cry of the Kalahari and The Eye of the Elephant: An Epic Adventure in the African Wilderness among others, which have listings often under different names used by the same authors. For instance The Eye of the Elephant may need to be merged with the latter book. Both books are by "Mark and Delia Owens" but the order of authors thoughtfully changes from book to book.

Across GoodReads they are listed as Mark James Owens, Delia Owens (the two that are probably the dominant author pages for them). But also under: DELIA OWENS MARK OWENS and Cordelia Dykes Owens.

Their full names are Cordelia Dykes Owens and Mark James Owens, however I don't think their names are listed this way on the copyright pages of any of their books. I have the two aforementioned books and they are not credited using their full names.

Additionally there is a book titled Survivor's Song which is currently attributed on both GoodReads and Amazon to Mark Owens, however the cover image shows "Delia and Mark Owens" and probably needs updating. However I don't own a copy of this book yet myself so I cannot visually confirm this.

Thank you to the brave adventurer who sorts all of this out.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I think I have them straight. I left Cordelia under Delia Owens and Mark under Mark Owens. If you discover any other variations, please post again.
