It does look like Elizabeth Ashby should be first listed author on all books in the series, and some of them need editing to fix that.
I'm working on changing the first author on the books.While doing that (book 13) I noticed the whole series being listed in the description just want to be sure it shouldn't be there before I make any changes.
If you list the Danger Cove title in the title of the book and put the sub-series in the first line of the description, will that work?Example: Title: A Secret in the Pumpkin Patch (Danger Cove #17)
Book Description: Danger Cove Farmers' Market #3. From USA Today bestselling authors Gin Jones and Elizabeth Ashby comes a hauntingly good mystery...
This is what makes sense to me because I'm reading the entire Danger Cove series. But if someone is reading only one of the sub-series, they might not like this arrangement. You guys know better than I how this should be done.
If readers want to look at the sub-series directly, they just have to expand the details pane under the book links - Adding a link in the description of every edition of every book by hand would take a year and a month for a librarian to do.Title (Series Title #1; Sub-series #1) works pretty well, if you want it in the title. Books can be in as many series as you want, but what's in the title needs to be inside one set of parentheses or it messes up the book page.
Is somewhat confusing. Elizabeth Ashby is a co-author on every book. Each of the other co-authors has her own heroine, leading to several sub-series.
As you can see, each of these books lists only one author on this page, when there are always two and sometimes more. I know you list co-authors on these pages. In this case, it would be VERY helpful.
