Kris Leigh | 3 comments I have a book set to release October 31st, Rapt Souls, that has been attributed to the wrong profile.

Incorrect profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The first book in the series, Woven Souls, is correctly attributed to me, if that helps.

(This happened on Amazon with Woven Souls, too. I'm not sure why. Thanks so much!)

Kris Leigh | 3 comments I'm bumping because I'm concerned this may have been missed. I hope that's okay.

David Dufty | 4 comments I have the same problem. There seem to be two profiles of my latest book, one attributed to me (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... ) and one attributed to someone with a similar name, but with slightly different spelling: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
These seem to be for the kindle and paperback editions respectively, but they're the same book, and I'm the author.
I posted about this a few weeks ago, but, like you, I also seem to have been overlooked.

Thanks for that, David! It may not "help," but it makes me feel better!

The importer has no way of differentiating between authors of the same name.

Done.

Then you should do as Kris did and bump your own thread, not add to someone else's. I have resolved your issue.
