Hello, I hope you are well. I am about to claim an author page (for myself, Debra May Macleod) but there are incorrect titles showing under that name /author profile. Books authored by Debra MAY Macleod are BRIDES OF ROME: A NOVEL OF THE VESTAL VIRGINS (plus the Italian edition La Sposa di Roma and the Spanish Esposas de Roma), THE NEW VESTA SECRET, THE NEW VESTA HOME and ANCIENT INTUITION. The other books (i.e. 50 Ways to Play) are authored by Debra Macleod (without the May). Thank you very much...I am planning to "claim" the author profile for Debra May Macleod as soon as the correct titles are showing.

Debra May wrote: "Hello, I hope you are well. I am about to claim an author page (for myself, Debra May Macleod) but there are incorrect titles showing under that name /author profile. Books authored by Debra MAY Ma..."There are several issues here, so it may take some time. Supplying links to the works that are actually yours will be really helpful.
Sorry, I'm new at this. It took me an hour and four cups of coffee to get here! I think I've included everything below. I had someone previously explain the issue was something to do with spacing...that the system wasn't reading a space before or after "May," I'm not quite sure. Anyway, here are the links, and thank you: Debra May Macleod: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

No. Claiming your profile before it's cleaned up will make it more difficult for everyone, including the correct authors for the other books.
At this point, the whole spacing discussion is a non-issue.The other books were inadvertently created with the same name, but that author does not use May in any publications, so I have removed it.
The only remaining profile with Debra May Macleod is yours.
You can claim this profile, as I believe that the 4 titles listed are the only ones that are yours.
