Help, my books are a mess!

[Paul]

Hi there, I'm hoping a kind librarian could help me with my overall Goodreads mess. I am the author of two main series, Blood on the Motorway (includes Blood on the Motorway, Sleepwalk City, A Final Storm, and the complete trilogy) and an ebook serial called The Sunset Chronicles (Last Light, Fault & Fracture, Hanging Moon, Blinded by Light, Black Cloud, A Dawn to Fear, Lights on the Hill, Adrift, Beyond Fate, and Genesis).

For the Blood series, they are listed as my books, but all have out of date covers. For the Sunset Chronicles it seems they're all listed, but none are listed as being my books, but instead to a History author.

Would someone be able to help me tidy this all up, and give me some advice on how to avoid this in the future? Thanks in advance.

[Paul]

Thank you! Can any librarians help with the moving?

[Paul]

Just to clarify, if I want to display the current cover, I need to create a new book listing, which would mean losing all the reviews etc on the existing listing?

[Scott]

Will the new editions be retaining the same ISBN or ASIN?

You won't lose any reviews, regardless.

[Paul]

Would be the same ASIN. Cool, that's good then!

[Scott]

If the ASIN is staying the same, you would use the "add an alternate cover edition" link on the existing record. This will move the ASIN to a new record and you can fill in the remaining info and new cover there.

OK, I think all your books should now be linked to the correct author -- you are Paul^^^^Stephenson with FOUR spaces, in case you were curious, so if you edit your author page, don't remove the spaces! The extra spaces aren't visible on the front end, but that's how Goodreads distinguishes otherwise identical author names).

Is Bloody Santa yours as well? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... If so let me know and I'll fix that one.

Now, let me take a look at putting these into their proper series...

OK, Blood on the Motorway seems to be correct:

I've created the Sunset Chronicles series:

There are 2 anomalies in this one. First, I can't find any book titled "Beyond Fate" (season 2, episode 4, I assume). Second, you say "Last Light" is Book 1; I found it and added it but there is also a book titled "Sunrise" which says in its title that it is Book 1 of the Sunset Chronicles, but which you don't have in your list at all.

If you can clarify those things, I'll be happy to fix them.
