message 1: by Jenelle (new) - added it

Jenelle | 14 comments I have added my newest book (publishing soon) to goodreads and I'm having a few difficulties. I wondered if someone might be willing to help me out.

1) This is book #3 in The Minstrel's Song series, and I'm not seeing that show up like it does on the other two books King's Warrior and Second Son

2) I understand that my name on the books has to match my "author profile" name - and, unfortunately, I have published under Jenelle Leanne Schmidt and now Jenelle Schmidt. Someone here recently helped me out with that by creating a blank "Jenelle Leanne Schmidt" account and transferring my author profile to Jenelle Schmidt... and I would love it if we could do that with this book, as well?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

2) Not done, I try to update with your info, but it doesn't save... I'll try again later or another librarian could do it


Do you have any additional info on the book? Like publishing date, n of pages, format

I got it.

The system won't allow you to directly add a second author if it's too similar to the first one. So the workaround is to add a fake temporary name (I'm partial to temptemp, but anything you are sure doesn't already have an existing author profile should work) to each book you want the second author on. Then merge the fake name with the desired name.

Thank you for your help.

No, I don't have that info yet. I will be publishing it in November, but I wanted people to be able to put it on their TBR shelves in conjunction with the cover reveal yesterday.
