Chad Maske | 5 comments I need my author name changed from Chad J. Maske to just Chad J Maske (remove the period) to match my name on Amazon. I just put up a book last week for preorder and it's not appearing with my other books.

https://www.amazon.com/author/chadmaske

I need this fixed so it doesn't happen again in the future. Please and thank you.

Chad Maske | 5 comments So what do I do? Currently my books on Amazon are all listed under Chad J Maske, which Moonrise appeared under on goodreads here (Though now I see it listed as just chad maske) I need Moonrise attached to my current profile, and I want to get this fixed so I don't have to fix this every time I publish a book.

Either way, unless it matches Amazon it won't import to the same name here.

Scott | 8725 comments I have asked support to match the name to the books.

Chad Maske | 5 comments Alright, well then can I have https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... moved to my current profile? Please and thank you.
