Books in my various series that are missing from the series pages or out of order

Right, where shall I begin?


THE ETERNAL DUNGEON

Someone very kindly updated the series page for my Eternal Dungeon series.

https://www.goodreads.com/series/6249...

However, because a couple of the books were given series numbers that didn't conform with Goodreads standards (I've corrected that), one of the books is out of order on the series page: "Checkmate" (which is currently in the Volume 4 position) needs to be nudged down to the #5.4 position. The actual Volume 4 is missing from the series page:

Also missing from the series page are these side stories:

LIFE PRISON

To start with, the Goodreads series page is currently entitled "Life Prison: Mercy's Prisoner" - Mercy's Prisoner being the name of the first volume in the Life Prison series. This isn't how my Eternal Dungeon series is handled; it places all of the books of the various volumes on one series page. The latter practice seems more sensible to me, since the Life Prison series is now into its second volume, but I leave that to your judgment.

Note that Volume 1 is listed after the stories within it; I think it's supposed to be listed *before* the stories within it?

In addition, the series page is missing this book:

And if you want to include the books in the second volume, here they are:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I don't know how the heck this should be handled:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The e-book "Coded Messages" was originally issued as #1.2 in the series. However, when I brought out the full Volume 1, I replaced "Coded Messages" with another story, "Men and Lads."

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

So Goodreads is showing *two* of the books as #1.2, with only one of them (the one that's no longer #1.2; "Coded Messages" was reissued as a side story) appearing on the series page. Obviously, I am at fault for screwing up library ordering, but any ideas how this should be handled?

To make your lives more complicated, "Men and Lads" was also published in a bundle with another story:

And here are a couple of side stories from the series that aren't on the series page:

(Take a deep breath. More is coming.)


MICHAEL'S HOUSE

Here's the series page:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/1444...

If we follow the practice of showing all of the stories within each volume that were published separately, these stories are missing from the series page:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


WATERMAN

The book I link to next, "Queue," says it's Waterman #2. It was actually issued as a side story in the Waterman series. I can't eliminate the numbering because it's on the series line.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

"Queue" is now part of my Young Toughs series, but since it was never issued as such at the bookstores, I'm guessing you don't want to deal with that particular nightmare?


YOUNG TOUGHS

This doesn't have a series page yet.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

There's no numbering yet, because I haven't yet established the series numbers for the unpublished stories. However, I think they'll be in the order I've given above.


DARK LIGHT

This also doesn't have a series page. You'll be relieved to hear that the numbering is clear.

THE THREE LANDS

This also doesn't have a series page, and I apologize for the lack of volume numbers; it's because I'm issuing the volumes out of order. However, here's the omnibus:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

((Incidentally, the title of the current edition is "The Three Lands: an omnibus of fantasy novels set in the Great Peninsula." I'm not sure how you want that handled.)

Here are the volumes (i.e. novels) in chronological order:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And here are the side stories in chronological order:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


I'm sorry to make your life so miserable. These problems have been piling up for several years now; I kept hoping that one of my readers with Librarian privileges would take the initiative to sort out the mess.

Whoops, forgot one other Life Prison side story:
