FIX MY SERIES PAGE PLEASE!

[Juli]

To Whom It May Concern. I have been trying to add my new book into my series. The numbering in the series, according to your parent company AMAZON has got to be:

The Artist's Inheritance BOOK ONE
Caitlin's Book of Shadows BOOK TWO
Drawing Down the Shades book three
MOURNING DOVE LOCKET book four.

Yesterday, I received a note from your helpful librarian Rikva saying Good Reads insists that the short story Caitlin's Book of Shadows be listed as book 1.5--different than your parent company Amazon insisted I number it for inclusion in my series. This morning, I sign into my account to find you've kicked CAITLIN'S BOOK OF SHADOWS off my series list on my main author page altogether. It was fine until yesterday. Now it's fouled up. Antique Magic is a FOUR TITLE series, not a three title series. Is this normal? Can you please replace the book onto my page or at least fix the numbering so it informs readers this is a four book series? I see other authors have their numbering correct here so I know it can be done. (Sherrilyn Kenyon with 11 books and Robert Jordan's series 14 book series are listed correctly and I could point to others as well). Help, please.

Here's a screenshot of the problem.

Thank you for your assistance with this problem.

The series is correctly numbered per GR policies. The short appears in the series page if you click through, exactly where it is supposed to be. Amazon policies are not really relevant here, they may own GR but they are a completely different site with very different goals.

Rivka is Goodreads staff, and as far as librarian issues go she has the last word.

In addition to what Krazykiwi wrote, here is the Goodreads policy concerning series number and ordering: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/4...

Since your short story is not considered a primary book according to GR policy, it will not show in the series on your author page, but only on the series page itself.
