Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments Hi :-) I am part of a multi-author series that needs to be connected (and probably cleaned up) when someone has a moment. The series is called A Legend To Love, and all books are full-length novels.

Renske | 12231 comments Have those books characters or settings in common or only the theme?

Book 5 was already on Goodreads, I added some data https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Book 8 added https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments Thanks!

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments And I should probably answer your question, too :-)

The books are all set in Regency-era UK for at least part of the book, and the characters from each book have cameos in other books in the series.

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments Any update on getting these connected as a series? We're having some technical difficulties getting book 2 released, but the other books are in place (released or available for pre-order).

Also, our Series Sampler has been added to Goodreads. This would probably count as Book 0.5: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Done, will save in a couple of min.

☘Misericordia☘ ⚡ϟ⚡⛈⚡☁ ❇️❤❣ (misericordia) | 62 comments You might want to provide some text to be included in the description of the series. Some general theme-type, you can look how it's done with other series.

'A Wulf in Duke's Clothing (A Legend to Love #6)' - a spell check might be in order as well.
I'll change it here 'wulf = > wolf' but onwards it might be good to look everything through carefully

This one says it's part 2 of another series. It's really 11 in here or was it provided by mistake? (It's possible to have cross series books, I'm just asking to make sure there isn't any mistakes in here)


message 9: by Cora (new)

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments Never hurts to double check :-)

Book 11 in this series (His Duchess At Eventide) is also book 2 in another series. The author decided to kill two birds with one book when she wrote this one ;-)


message 10: by Cora (new)

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments We do also have a little blurb for the series--this is the short version:

A Legend To Love is a series of full-length Regency romance novels written by eleven different authors, where at least one of the main characters in each book is inspired by a legend. This sampler contains an excerpt from each book in the series. Can you match the legend to the novel?

Not sure what you mean about the spellcheck, though. Wulf really is the correct spelling--it's a play on Beowulf.

Ok, will change back in a sec))) A good point)

https://www.goodreads.com/series/2461... Here's the way the series's gona look like. Is it the way you want it to?


message 14: by Cora (new)

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments The last book--the one that's part of 2 series--isn't on there. But otherwise it looks good.


message 15: by Cora (new)

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments Oh, and the Series Sampler (Book 0.5) needs to be attributed to Wendy La Capra at this profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


message 16: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments #15: Done. Her author name is not La Capra, but LaCapra. Makes all the difference.

Ok and done.

Cora Lee (coralee49) | 29 comments One space changes everything, doesn't it? She's La Capra on Facebook--I didn't realize it was different here. Thanks so much to both of you--the series page looks great!
