Hi Jordan
You are the 3 space Jordan Fox. The spaces between the name are how Goodreads differentiates between authors who have the same name. The easiest way to get the quotes on your profile is to add them here https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot..., but you can also add them by making sure you put 3 spaces between Jordon & Fox.
The listing for The Aetherfire Conflict is puzzling me how it is displaying. Can another librarian take a look?

Can another librarian take a look?"The first quote has a paragraph break which is why it looks like three total quotes. The page makes the spacing look bigger than it does when you write it in the quote box.
Thanks Emily I was meaning The Aetherfire Conflict looks like it is on both the default & the 3 space Jordan Fox Profile. Maybe someone has worked on it recently?

Thanks Emily & Arenda.@Jordan. I'm going out shortly, but I will take a llok when I get home.
& I'm back
These quotes are on the default Jordan page.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
Can you number them 1-5 & say which ones are yours & which book they come from.
Here are the quotes on your profile
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/list...
Can you give the number & the book for the quotes that haven't been assigned a book.
I think this is the simplest way.
So sorry this didn't tell me I had replies! Catching up right now!1. The Aetherfire Conflict: “Both tales were steeped in tragedy. Yet, this fresh start could potentially offer a silver lining for them both. Uriel decided to be Rai’s soft place to fall and to stop his machinations to get back to Hiraeth. “Reflecting on my past decisions, I acknowledge they were not always the wisest. Perhaps it is not all dreadful. If not for my determination to mess up my own life, our paths might never have crossed.” Rising to his feet, Uriel’s hand extended towards Rai. “Your embrace brought me solace. Would it be too much to ask for you to hold me, to allow me to stay with you tonight?”
― Jordan Fox
2. The Dragon's Heart: “Rai pressed forward, weaving through the crush of bodies, his focus steady. Then, a moment that shattered him. Uriel leaned up, his lips meeting Lysander’s in a kiss that unfolded like a cruel trick of time—agonizingly slow and impossibly vivid.”
― Jordan Fox
3. The Aetherfire Conflict: “Reflecting on my past decisions, I acknowledge they were not always the wisest. Perhaps it is not all dreadful. If not for my determination to mess up my own life, our paths might never have crossed. - Uriel Faldar”
― Jordan Fox
4. I don't know why this one shows twice, but The Aetherfire Conflict: “Reflecting on my past decisions, I acknowledge they were not always the wisest. Perhaps it is not all dreadful. If not for my determination to mess up my own life, our paths might never have crossed.” - Uriel Faldar”
― Jordan Fox
5. The Dragon's Heart: “Uriel’s arms crossed defiantly, his gaze unwavering as he stared down at the magus. “I have killed people, Y’serris. I have been contemplating this for longer than you could imagine. You have a choice to make. It is either this, or I fear I may end up taking my own life on impulse, despite your wards. You cannot comprehend this slick, oily feeling that had been consuming me since my resurrection. I dread the person I might become if I am forced to continue down this path.”
― Jordan Fox
Ok, all done. In future if you could link to the quotes, as that makes it a little bit quicker.#3/4 appears twice as you entered it twice, but with slightly different punctuation. I've removed the character's name as this isn't allowed to be entered with quotes.
Please check to see if it is all ok now.
& you may find this info from the Librarian's Manual helpful if you wish to enter any more quotes.

And it doesn't give me the choice to choose which "Jordan Fox". Also, in the list when I am making quotes it allows me to select The Aetherfire Conflict, but not my second book The Dragon's Heart. (It doesn't show up as a selectable option)
Thanks!
