Add a prequel to Kyprian Prophecy Series

[Kylie]

hi there

I was hoping to get my book The Earth King's Heir: The Kyprian Prophecy Book 0 – A Prequel added to my series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3356...

But it could be tricky??

I currently have Books 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the series.

This book The Earth King's Heir: The Kyprian Prophecy Book 0 – A Prequel
is actually Book 0 – a prequel.

It needs to come before Book 1 but after 0.5 (which is a companions book – related to the series but also a stand alone so not to be read in a particular order).

Can my latest book be Book 0 or simply a 'Prequel" or does it need to be 0.5? If the latter, then what are my options for naming the current 0.5 Beginnings : The Kyprian Prophecy – An Origins Novella Is it possible to have a 0.5 and a 0.75??

Sorry for making it complicated.

How many pages will this one be?

Hi Rivka. Book 0 will be approx 200 pages.

Thank you. The reason why I ask is that for series on Goodreads that have both novel-length and novella-length (or shorter) works, the novels get whole numbers and the shorter pieces get decimals.

So #0 is correct for a novel-length prequel. However, mathematically, #0 comes before #0.5. Having it come after would not only be confusing, but is likely to get corrected by the first librarian who notices.

If the novella currently numbered #0.5 really has no specific spot in the series timeline, I would suggest instead making it unnumbered, and putting it at the end of the series.

Thanks Rivka for explaining that to me 😊 In that case I would like the true prequel, the new book - Earth King’s Heir - to be numbered #0 and the currently numbered novella #0.5 (called Beginnings) to be unnumbered and put at the end of the series. Are you able to assist with this? Super grateful for all your help so far.

Just *bumping* the above. In summary of the above trail, I was hoping a librarian could please:


Change my book 'Beginnings' from being numbered #0.5 TO unnumbered and put it at the end of the Kyprian Prophecy Series. (it is a companion novella)
AND
Number my book 'The Earth King's Heir' #0 in the Kyprian Prophecy Series (it is a full length prequel)

Books links are:
Beginnings : The Kyprian Prophecy – An Origins Novella
The Earth King's Heir: The Kyprian Prophecy Book 0 – A Prequel

Thank you : )
