There was an error made on Amazon when the publisher added the book; he forgot to change the books in series listing, and so Imperial Detective incorrectly shows the previous book number, which is 7, when it should be 8. It also needs to be added to the EMPIRE series page, please (and have the proper number there, too, and it needs EMPIRE taken off the title, which is just Imperial Detective). I have no idea how to do it myself, and suspect I can't. But if someone here can, it would be GREATLY appreciated. (It's already been changed on Amazon.)

My publisher-slash-sorta-coauthor explained to me how to contact y'all; I'd never had occasion to do so before and wasn't sure how. I've belonged to Goodreads for some years now, but had lost my login for a good while (couple years; thank you, laptop switch) and finally found the ID and reset the password recently. So even though I've been here, I'm still sort of learning my way around.
Now that I know how to reach y'all, I'll keep this in mind in case I have any more glitches like this. Hopefully I won't, but [expletive redacted] happens.
If you have any questions for me about what something needs to be, just yell.

I completed reviewing your profile. I combined all appropriate works, deleted 2 empty stray editions, updated all your series, and created 2 new ones.
If I missed something, please advise.

I'm showing Division One book 3, A Very Unconventional Christmas, 2 versions on my "books I've written" shelf, one print and one ebook -- they're all available in print AND ebook, but those are being listed separately.
Ditto book 5, Trojan Horse, and book 11, Tourist Trap.
Other than that, it looks really good! And it may be that I need to do something, but I don't know what, so please tell me if I do.
Thank you!

I'll look at these.

1. This is the edition without a cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
it is an ebook, and I don't have a source for the cover. If you have the cover for it you can upload it, but the only sources Goodreads can use for covers do not include other retail editions for copyright reasons. Here is a list of acceptable sources.: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
You can change the default edition using these instructions: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

2. Division One book 3, A Very Unconventional Christmas: There is a paperback and a Kindle edition [which is not the same as an ebook]. I combined these editions very early in my review, and they still show to be combined, so possibly your cache has not updated.

There are several places to look to determine if books have been combined, but this view is usually the view that is updated the quickest.
Also, Librarians cannot see the "Books I've Written" author dashboard.
I added all the editions i could find, and added all the covers I could legally add.
If you add an Amazon Kindle edition, its important to list its format as Kindle, and to use the Amazon ASIN.
Okay, I wondered if maybe my shelf just wasn't showing the updates.As for the lack of cover, I don't understand why there is even another edition like that. It shows three down below (when I first put up the Kindle edition, I went through Ingram Spark, then later took that down and went KDP direct because IS was taking a huge chunk out of the royalties) so I'm not sure where the fourth one is coming from. But I'll see what I can do.

And now the version with the cover shows up on the series page.
Thank you!
