Macnab | 11 comments The Surrogate
This is just book 1 by this author.
There are 5 books by this author. All 5 are in the series "Brennan and Esposito".
The first 4 books are also in the series "Marina Esposito".
There should only be 1 series.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments According to the author's online page Macnab is correct, there should only be the Brennan & Esposito series: http://www.taniacarver.com/books.php

I don't know exactly how to change this; I tried editing the title of the Marina Esposito series, but it didn't change on the individual books. Advice?

Sandra | 31489 comments Authors sometimes change the name of a series, and I'm assuming that's what she's done. So I've deleted the duplicate series with the incorrect name and changed the titles of the books with the incorrect series title.

Abcdarian, the only way to change the individual books is to go in and edit each book.

Macnab | 11 comments It's fixed, thanks.

Authors also sometimes promote their detectives and the series name changes from Chief Inspector Clouseau to Superintendent Clouseau.
Awkward for everybody.

Authors: don't call your series Inspector Clouseau, call them Jacques Clouseau. Even if he is NEVER going to be promoted :))
