Sarah Cradit (sarahcradit) | 35 comments I have recently made updates to the covers of my books, which are reflected on all retailer sites. I know you can't change the cover, but I would like these made to be alternate covers, so I can toggle them to the primary cover for display. Thank you! :)

I tried to make it as easy as possible:

Beyond Dusk: Anne Book Listing: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Empress (the_empress) Working on this

Issue with the names:
Have you changed the order of the books as on the NEW covers book 2 is book 1 and book 1 is a prequel?


Issues with series:

Amazon says that Anne is 0.5, but in the series here it is listed after book 3. Are the series in reading order or should they be. Do you want book 0.5 moved before 1? 1.5 after 1, and 2.5 after 2?

Done

Sarah Cradit (sarahcradit) | 35 comments Thanks for calling that out :) Was trying to get those fixed.

Here's the proper order:
St. Charles at Dusk (Prequel)
Beyond Dusk: Anne (#0.5)
The Storm and the Darkness (#1)
Beyond Darkness: Shattered (#1.5)
The Illusions of Eventide (#2)
Beyond Eventide: Bound (#2.5)

Empress (the_empress) It should be all fine now. If you see anything please point it out.

We can also put up a series description on the series page [something like a blurb] if you have one.

Sarah Cradit (sarahcradit) | 35 comments I do :)

Dive into the secretive, ancient, powerful world of the Deschanels and Sullivans...

The Sullivans, a family of hard-working Irish lawyers, have come from nothing and built a life they can be proud of. The Deschanels became extremely wealthy by siding with the North during the Civil War, betraying their people. Both families have a dark and rich history, painted with secrets, treachery, and colorful, supernatural abilities.

The House of Crimson and Clover unravels the mysteries surrounding both families, pulling us further into their tangled, enigmatic lives.

Sarah Cradit (sarahcradit) | 35 comments In the past, all I had to do was select "switch to this edition" and it saved the new cover as the default. For some reason, it isnt working this time for me, for any of them. It allows me to switch, and says it does, but it doesn't show up. And when I try to switch it again, it errors and tells me that version is already in my bookshelf. I just want the new covers to display as the primary ones. Any ideas?

Actually, that only changes what edition you have shelved as a user. It has no effect on which edition is primary. To change that, follow these directions: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...
