Series not showing on author page

[Jennifer]

My author profile at http://www.goodreads.com/jennifersamson is only showing two of my series. The third, Sin City series, is listed as a series, each book shows it's in the series, but it won't show up on my profile.

I have a co-author for book 2, but I am listed as an author on that book, so I don't think that's the problem. Is there any way to have this series added to my profile.

Actually, that is the issue. The series parser is an automated process, and will only put series on an author's profile if they are the first author on both books 1 and 2.

However, you are the first author on the cover of book #2, so I changed the order here to match. The series should show up on your profile in a day or two.

How will this affect my co-author? Ideally I'd like the series to show up on both of our profiles, as she'll be writing more books in the series as well, but it sounds like this isn't possible?

So is co-authorship not dealt with equally? Does one author always have to be the "lead"?

A series can only show up on one author's profile. And yes, on Goodreads, the first author listed on the cover is the primary author.
