R.L. (winterhawk) | 15 comments Hi,

I have two issues.

First, one of my books is showing up on the list of another author of the same name. The title is "Borrowed Time" (it came up when I searched on "Shadowrun Borrowed Time") and it's listed under another R. L. King who isn't me. Can I get this changed?

Second, I've re-issued one of my books and it has a new cover, but I can't figure out how to change the cover that displays under my list of books. Here's the Amazon listing of the book:

Kindle version: http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Alast...

Paperback version: http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Alast...

Is there anything I can do to make the new cover appear?

Thanks!

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments That's because you are R.L.^^King, where each "^" denotes a space. The book was automatically imported, so the best way to avoid this in the future is to add the book yourself as soon as it is live on Amazon or elsewhere.

With regards to the cover change, we do not change covers for published books. Instead we add an alternate-cover edition (ACE). Please also see here for more information.

ACEs added:
Kindle
Paperback

You can set one of the new editions as the default by following the instructions here.

I also notice that there is a series, so I have added it: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1570....

By the way, for reference, which book is The Threshold now? Or has it not been rereleased yet? We usually combine all books together, new title and old.

R.L. (winterhawk) | 15 comments Thank you! I've followed the instructions and set the primary edition.

The Threshold is not currently available--it will be the third book in the series, but it's coming out in a substantially updated new edition in a few months. So the one that's listed there is the old version.

Thanks again!

OK, well once it's updated let us know and we can add a new edition like with the above. It is probably best to wait, then, before adding it to the series.

R.L. (winterhawk) | 15 comments Yes, definitely. I really would prefer to remove it completely until the new one comes out, but I know that isn't possible. I don't want to draw attention to it, so people won't wonder why it's listed but not available right now.

Thanks again!
