Maggie Felsch | 3 comments I have books that are under previous last names of mine and when I added them, they have been filed under a different author. I am not able to go in and edit those books. Can authors have multiple names on their author page?
For example: Jane Doe aka Jane Smith

If you wish we can add your latest name to the other books, so that they will appear on your profile.

Link to them and we will take a look.
