Allyson (allysonemachate) | 5 comments Hi there. I need help getting three books added to my Author Profile. The author name I use on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is slightly different than what is published on the book's metadata and cover so it won't appear automatically.

Way of the Seal Journal: A Companion to the National Bestseller

WAY OF THE SEAL UPDATED AND EXPANDED EDITION

The second I'm not sure how to deal with. It is an updated and expanded edition of the original. Should it be merged with the original listing/reviews, or added as a new book???

And the third is the audio version. It isn't showing up in your "add book/author" search but it's on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ here: /book/show/2...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Scott | 5497 comments Sorry but since those books have your middle name on the cover, they must be listed under that name. If you would like them linked to your other account, you have two options:

1. Have support change your profile to the one with the middle name.
2. Add your name with just the initial to those books (your name will appear twice on the listings).

The expanded edition is properly combined with the earlier editions.

Allyson (allysonemachate) | 5 comments I appreciate the help but I’m confused. The first edition is the exact same way and Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ had no problem adding it to my profile. Why not now?

Your profile name should have been corrected to Allyson Edelhertz Machate years ago, but apparently no one noticed that it didn't match the cover. I can make that change now, if you like.

Allyson (allysonemachate) | 5 comments Hey Rivka. The thing is I don’t intend to ever use it that way again. I prefer just the initial. I’d really rather my profile stay as it is. Given that, what are my options? Can I add my name w initial to the book listings as Scott suggested and have them connected that way?

Allyson (allysonemachate) | 5 comments Thank you so much! Could this one be added too?

/book/show/3...

I'm a little confused about what I'm looking at since it seems the two editions have been sort of linked, but the older one says "Published December 26th 2013 by Reader's Digest (first published January 1st 2013)" and the newer one says "Published May 22nd 2018 by Reader's Digest (first published January 1st 2013)" ???
