Veronica Conley (veronicaconley) | 4 comments Hi Librarians!

I need some help fixing the series numbers for two of my books. Initially, the first book (which I was thinking of as a prequel) was Book #0.5 and the second was Book #1. But it turns out that Amazon won't link a prequel/Book #0.5 to a series. So I've had to re-number my books.

The series is The Greater Angels of the Empyrean, and the books should now be ordered like this:

Angel On Watch (Greater Angels of the Empyrean, #1)
Angel Off Limits (Greater Angels of the Empyrean, #2)

Would you mind helping me correct those numbers on Goodreads? These are the links to the pages that may need to be updated:

Series page:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2816...

Angel On Watch, Book 1:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Angel Off Limits, Book 2
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Thank you so much for your help!

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments Prequels are number with either #0 (if novel length) or #0.5 (novella length) on Goodreads regardless of their numbering elsewhere.

Veronica Conley (veronicaconley) | 4 comments I might not be explaining properly. Angel On Watch is not a prequel. It's the first book in my series, The Greater Angels of the Empyrean. But it was also my first published book, and I made a mistake calling it a prequel. The next book follows the same characters just a few months later, and to understand Book 2, a reader really needs to have read Book 1.

I've corrected this on Amazon and changed my covers to reflect the changes. Angel On Watch is Book 1 of 2 in The Greater Angels of the Empyrean. Angel Off Limits is Book 2 of 2.

It seems like it could really confuse readers if they search for any of my books and find that the numbering on Goodreads doesn't match the covers or the Amazon product pages. In case this is useful, here are the links to the books as they now appear on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZFB8557
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082QM3K92

I appreciate your help with this. The whole thing has been quite a mess for me. I need readers to read Book 1 first and then Book 2, or Book 2 is pretty confusing. But I had no idea initially that if I called a book a prequel, Amazon just wouldn't include it in the series. Totally stupid on my part, and I'm really hoping this can be fixed before I put out Book 3.

Thank you for your time,

Veronica
