D.M. Wishing | 3 comments My second book is Daughter of Manhattan, by D. M. Wishing ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... ) This new book is not showing up as one of my books in my profile ( https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... ) whereas my first book, New York Sonata, by D.M. Wishing is ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... ). When I click on the Is This You? link for my second book I get the error message "Sorry, you are already in the author program as D.M. Wishing and only one author profile may be claimed at a time." I think the discrepancy is that in Goodreads there is a space between the initials of the author name for Daughter of Manhattan (D. M.) but no space for my author profile or the author of New York Sonata (D.M.) Can a librarian please help me resolve this so that both books show up as mine in my author profile? Thanks!

D.M. Wishing | 3 comments Further to my post just now, please not that on the Amazon website it looks like there is a space between my initials on both books (D. M.). I'm not sure sure what the right fix is, but, of course, I'm hoping that whatever is done result in my being able to log onto Gooreads using my current login credentials, but also that any ratings for both my books on Goodreads gets reflected in Goodreads ratings data shown in the corresponding book pages on the Amazon site.
