Hi Timothy, I added your book to the series but listed it as #9 as your book Hero to the Rescue is currently listed as #8, while no book is listed at #7.Should Hero to the Rescue be listed as 7 instead of 8? And then Hero at the Gates will become 8?
Thanks!
Due to GR series naming it gets confusing, because it states the book series number on the cover, but book 5.5 is listed as 6 on the cover, and on Amazon, but GR policy is that it would not be book six but 5.5, since it is a novella and not a full novel. That would in theory make book 7 book 6, book 8 boot 7, and book 9 book 8.
Here's the problem:Burnside's Killer, #6, is a novella. As such, its listed as 5.5.
So 7 should be 6, 8 should be 7, and 9 should be 8.
Personally, I dont get the distinction. Size in a series shouldn't matter. Leaving out a book because its smaller, all it does is confuse people. But that apparently doesn't concern the powers that be who make the rules.
What might be better is if 6 isn't listed, and 7, 8 and 9 are all correctly listed. Up to you.
