Xan Asher (Xasher) | 6 comments Hi, Could you change the name of my series 'A Vampire Forsaken' to 'Palaces Of The Vampire Damned'. The 5 listed titles within this series are not changing individual names, but their covers have all changed as well. (The Amazon listing for them has the correct covers or I can email them in. There is an anthology, a prequel, and 3 novellas) Thanks so much for your help :)

Z-squared | 8575 comments I changed the name of the series and added a note to the description to include its previous name.

For your new covers, I have added alternate cover editions for each of them, complete with the new series name, here:

You can set each as the default edition by following the instructions here:

I believe doing so will also change the covers shown on the series page, although I'm not positive about that.

Hi Z-Squared, thanks so much, I really appreciate you fixing that :), that's excellent. Thanks also @Rivka.

Xan Asher (Xasher) | 6 comments Hi,

The changes to the series name & covers went through and I made the new series title & covers the default ones, the problem is now that under the grouping for the series (not the complete listing display, but the display for my author's page which shows my series) that now only 3 of the 5 items are shown.

I gave it a couple of days for the changes to go through the system but it has not self-corrected. Previously, all 5 items displayed. Now only items #1 through to #3 display, but not the prequel #.05 or the anthology #1-3.

Could this be fixed? Thanks so much (in advance :), cheers.

Only primary series elements show on the author profile. If the prequel and anthology were showing before, that was an error.

Hi Rivka, no problem, thanks for clearing that up :)
