Series with two names

[Renee]

So The Violet Eden Chapters is also called The Embrace Series and there are different editions, are you able to include another series and then add the overseas editions (which are called The Embrace Series) into that series?

The Violet Eden Chapters:


and the exact same books are caleld The Embrace Series overseas and have different covers, but they're just different editions. Opinions?

The Embrace Series:


also, the fifth one will be published this year in about October (no official release date yet) and then be released overseas in January 2014.

Do we just make them all part of teh Embrace series as well seeing as that's what a lot of people overseas called them even if they're originally called The Violet Eden Chapters?

Unless a series is renumbered when it is republished, one series listing will do for all editions, because when one edition of a book is added to a series then all editions of that book are added to the series. You'll notice that the Embrace editions are already showing the series links for The Violet Eden Chapters. I've added the alternate name to the series description. (Some series can have dozens of different names if they're translated into many languages.) ETA: In fact, it looks like your German translations are going by Engel-Saga; I've added that as well.

One thing you can do is change the title field on the other editions to show (Embrace #X) instead of (The Violet Eden #X). You'll still see the series link as (The Violet Eden #X) when you're looking at the book on its own page, because The Violet Eden is the primary name of the series, but when readers put their edition on their shelves they'll see the edition-specific series name when browsing their shelves.

I've also updated the publication dates for books 4 and 5 and merged the duplicate placeholders on book 5. Are they correct now?
