Will Adams | 27 comments Hi, you very kindly set up a new series for my book The Assassin King using the series name: The Warne & Elias Mysteries. May I ask you do to two more things for me?
The first is to change the series name simply to "Warne & Elias" (as it looks a bit too wordy as it stands).
The second is to add The Beowulf Murders (see link below) as the second book in the series.

Many thanks,
Will Adams

minzi | 388 comments Hello,

If I understand correctly, there should already be a series "The Warne & Elias Mysteries". Do you have a link to this series page? I was not able to find it.

Will Adams | 27 comments Hi Minzi, sorry about that. I actually asked for the series title to be changed in a supplement to my first request - but nothing happened for a bit so I thought I'd ask again, only of course it was then changed.
The new series title is Warne & Elias (as requested), and the first book in the series is The Assassin King

The Beowulf Murders will be book 2. Hope that makes sense, and apologies again.
All best,
Will

minzi | 388 comments Hello,

Hmm, I still can't find a series "Warne & Elias" on your series page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/list...

Do you maybe mean the text that is added to the book title in parentheses/brackets "()"?

Just asking so I do not accidentally create a duplicate series.

Will Adams | 27 comments Hi Minzi, yes that is what I meant, though I have to confess I'm a little bit baffled now, as I thought this had been done for me yesterday (though I made the request then through The Assassin King, the first book in the series). You can see my requests on that page.
I changed the series title in Amazon. Could the change have fed through that way? Though it would be odd, as I changed the series title for both books there, and there's nothing showing for Beowulf.
You're absolutely right, though, that there's no series title in what you sent me, so I guess it should be added.
Sorry for the confusion!
All best,
Will

minzi | 388 comments Great, thank you. I'll create the series and add both books and have a look at the rest quickly. Update coming soon ... :)

minzi | 388 comments Hello again,

Here you go: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3964.... Does it look okay? It might take a little while until it also shows up on your author page.

Also it seems as if the book title has indeed been changed automatically bc. of your changes on Amazon. As a Goodreads author, you should also be able to change the title here, as far as I know (but I am not very familiar with that. See also: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...). Please note that on Goodreads, the format for titles with series information is "format: Title (Series #1)". I will change the notation for the first one, as I am already on it :-). [edit: already done]

If everything looks good, please edit the topic title and add [done]. Otherwise, let me know! I'm keeping an eye on this thread :-)
