Which Author to Use?

This book has two author entries on it's work page. J.R. Rain and J. K. Drew. J. K. Drew is a pen name that J.R. Rain uses. What is SOP for this kind of situation?

It seems like there should only be one author listed but which one?

Thanks!

On your copy? Whichever you want.
On the overall work in LT? If the name is only used by Rain the two authors need to be combined and then the system will sort it out. Which had already been done so that’s sorted.

Whoever confirmed the pseudonym as an additional author for some editions did not understand what the section is for so I cleaned it up.

Not a bug - just a wrong setting.

Thanks. I wasn't sure which entry to remove.
