Phillip Oliver The book "On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide", which has not been published yet, is linked to the wrong author. There are at least two authors with the same name - Matthew Kennedy - and this book is linked to the other one.

Sharon Lynn (sharonlynnwrites) | 8 comments Hi! My book DEATH TAKES A FALL: A Cotswold Crimes Mystery book 2 is attributed to two authors with the same name.
This is the correct link on the correct page but the book is missing the cover and the full title: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1....
This link has the full title and cover but is attributed to the wrong author: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Can you please merge the correct title DEATH TAKES A FALL: A Cotswold Crimes Mystery with the first link so that my 5 star reviews remain? Also, please make sure it is part of the series (book 2) with DEATH TAKES A BATH: A Cotswold Crimes Mystery (book 1).
Thank you!

Both editions now have cover full title, and series. If you want them combined so it doesn't show up twice on your profile, you'll have to remind my after Monday, since the ability to do that is on hold until then.

Hi James - It looks great on my page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show..., but it is still showing up on a DIFFERENT Sharon Lynn - Can the copy of Death Takes a Fall on the wrong Sharon Lynn be removed?

I combined the 2 editions I know of into one. Let me know if there's still a problem.
