Cannot link my Author name to my book

[[deleted user]]

Hi,

My author dashboard is https://www.goodreads.com/author/dash...

My book is Twice Shy (the Restraint Series #1) - which is attached to this profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Also, it is showing the restraint series in the link but still showing the old series (Bandit Creek #19) when the page is opened. I also need to change the cover to the new cover.

Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. If you need the new cover, please email me.

I think I have this all straightened out.

A few pieces of information:

No one can see your author dashboard but you, so linking to your author profile next time instead would be great.

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....

Similarly, a book that was initially part of one series stays part of that series (for all editions), and a book that was initially published under one author name keeps that name as primary for all editions. I did move the old series down so the new series shows up first, and added your new author name as secondary on the new edition of the book.

And the new edition/cover has been set to primary, so it is the one that shows up when searching by title and on your author profile.
