I need help merging duplicate listings of my book

Thank you, Scott! It isn't listed on Amazon incorrectly any longer.So, now can I combine the editions myself?



I'm reaching out for help combining two separate Goodreads listings for my book, Watch Me Break. There are currently two entries for this title—one with my author name formatted correctly (V.E. Huntley, with periods between the initials) and one with it formatted incorrectly (V E Huntley, without periods).
I believe this happened because I use both KDP and IngramSpark for distribution. IngramSpark had previously listed one of my earlier books on Amazon without the periods in my name, which I was able to get corrected. However, the incorrect listing still exists here on Goodreads and needs to be merged with the correct one.
My priority right now is resolving the issue with Watch Me Break. The other book with the similar issue will need to be corrected, but I'll address it in a separate request once this issue with Watch Me Break is taken care of.
Here are the details:
Correct listing: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Incorrect listing (to be merged): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The duplicate listings are causing confusion for readers and reviewers. I've already had two people post reviews on both listings because they thought their reviews weren't appearing.
I also need to get that duplicate incorrect author profile removed from Goodreads so people don’t get confused. Here is the duplicate incorrect profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Here is my correct author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I can't combine these editions myself because one of the listings is under this rogue ghost author profile.
Thank you so much, in advance, for your help with this. Please let me know if you need any additional information from me.
Best regards,
V.E. Huntley
