Lynn Robin (lynnrobin) | 41 comments Hello,

Could someone assist me in making some changes to my series the "Insomnia Saga": https://www.goodreads.com/series/2366...

I'd like to have the two Dutch books contained in it to be removed;

Insomnia (Insomnia Saga; Slaapwandelaar Duologie #1) by Lynn Robin
Nachtwandelaar (Insomnia Saga; Slaapwandelaar Mini-serie #1) by Lynn Robin

And to have my new English titles added instead:

Thanks so much in advance!

Greets, Lynn

How are the Dutch and English books related? Do two of the English ones match up with the two Dutch ones?

I started the Insomnia Saga as a Dutch series, but canceled its progress when I decided to switch to English. Breathing new life into the saga, I am now publishing it anew in English.

To make things clear, the Dutch series will not be continued — which is why I want the English books in the series group on my profile and have the Dutch ones deleted from it, so new readers won't get confused.

Could you help me out with this? Thank you :)

Could someone please help me? I need my books added to my series.

Here is the series page:

I'm sorry, but that does not answer my questions. We do not delete out of print books, or remove them from series to which they have correctly been added. However, the answers to my questions will allow me to assist you.

To answer your question: Insomnia (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) is an international/English republication of the Dutch book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...).

The other three books I mentioned above that I want to see added to the series are all new releases (English only).

Thank you. So Nachtwandelaar does not have an English translation? Is it going to have one?

No problem. And, no, Nachtwandelaar does not have an English translation, and it is still uncertain if it will have one in the future.

The book with editions in English and Dutch has been combined into a single work. As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile (and the series page). Here's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

The other English books have been added to the series. Nachtwandelaar has been left as an unnumbered (and non-primary) part of the series.
