Your author update; book submission.
I accepted your author update on your legal name, although I reformatted your legal name as "Walton, Joseph Churches Lindsay", since that's the format we use. I also took the liberty of adding your Wikipedia page and birth date to your author info as well. You suggested in that submission that we combine "Jo L. Walton" and "Jo Lindsay Walton" on the same author page. That happened semi-automatically with your submission of "Newb Maps of Hell". I changed the author of that book to "Jo Lindsay Walton", since that's the way it appears on Amazon's cover image, then set "Jo Lindsay" to be a pseudonym for "Jo L.", and now both author names will appear on your author page. (I also added a cover image and some other detail to that book's page.)
One question about "Newb Maps of Hell": The summary that you included, which is also on Amazon, makes it sound like a collection of reviews and other essays, in which case we would want to list it as "Non-Fiction" instead of as a "Collection". Am I interpreting this right?

"Mind Seed" anthology
I accepted your submission for this anthology, although I had to replace the cover you submitted. That image was from Lulu, and we don't have their permission to deep link to one of their images. We do have that permission from Amazon, so I substituted an Amazon image for the Lulu one. I also added some additional data to the book, including the contents. Chavey 21:06, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
