Collection Name

[Mia]

Hello lovely librarians! :)

I have 7 books out that are all part of a collection. I don't call them a "series" as there are no cross over characters or storylines. They are all linked in that they are all inspired by one of the zodiac signs. So putting, "A Sign of Love Novel, #1" etc. is misleading and makes readers think they need to be read in order.

Anyway, in several instances, someone has gone in and added numbers next to my novels and I've asked that they be removed. A librarian contacted me recently and asked if it was okay if just, "A Sign of Love" was put next to each title and I said that was fine. However, my novels "Leo" and "Leo's Chance" still have numbers next to them.

Is it possible for someone to put the word "Novel" next to "A Sign of Love" for all my titles so that it reads-for example- "Archer's Voice (A Sign of Love Novel). And please make sure the #1 and #2 are gone from my first two books.

My published books are:
Leo
Leo's Chance
Stinger
Archer's Voice
Becoming Calder
Finding Eden
Kyland

All by Mia Sheridan.

Thanks so much in advance!! :) I just want to make sure they're all consistent and similar to the way they're listed on Amazon (no #'s).

And Goodreads would not consider them a series either. Nor would an indication of a collection belong on the title line at all; the edition line would be ok.

#3 I should delete the series then? I thought the edition field was for publishers' series (or imprints as you call them), not for author-made collections.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Yes, the series should be deleted. This is closer to an imprint than to anything else, and is certainly not a series.

[lethe]

OK rivka.

Sorry Mia, but would you still like me to add 'A Sign of Love Novel' to the edition field, like this? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Hi Lethe!!

Thank you so much for your help! And yes, I would prefer all of them to be done like that (Leo), but I had that done once before and someone went in and changed it to include not only "A Sign of Love" but #'s as well. It's been an ongoing battle. :D

If you're able to do it the way you've done on Leo for all, though, that would be ideal. If that causes an issue, I'm okay with "A Sign of Love Novel" next to the title on all of them.

Thanks again!! I really appreciate it. :)

Hi Mia, I'm working on them, will let you know when it's done :)

[lethe]

Hi Mia, all done now :)

Sorry for all the confusion earlier!

[Mia]

You're the very best!!

Sorry to jump in but as a librarian I have a question.

You mention there is no cross over characters or storylines, but isn't Finding Eden a continuation of Becoming Calder? Even in the description it notes "Finding Eden is the continuation, and conclusion, to Becoming Calder."

Should these two be consider a series say, "A Sign of Love: Aquarius"?


Although not the same that same might be said for Leo and Leo's Chance (A companion (alternate POV) novel to Leo.).


No arguments as to not grouping all of the rest but in these two instance there is a link to the characters.
