H.R. Moore | 38 comments Hi,

I recently published book 2 in the Cruel Goddess series, but when I tried to add the book to Goodreads (for some reason it's not automatically showing up), the ASIN says it's assocaiated with the Rules of Atlas magic series, which is no longer accurate because I renamed the series before book 2 was published. But now I can't get the book to list correctly on Goodreads.

This is book 1:

https://www.amazon.com/Bride-Stars-Sa...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This is the old version of book 1 that has now been de-listed and replaced with the above re-titled edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This is book 2:

https://www.amazon.com/Daughter-Secre...

I created a Goodreads page for book 2, but it seems to have created a new ASIN which is incorrect and now it won't let me change it because it says the ASIN is associated with a different series, which it isn't on Amazon ... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Please could you help me to:
1. Make sure the book has the correct ASIN showing
2. Link the two books into the same series (Cruel Goddess)

Thanks!

GR applies an ASIN to every book record now, and once entered it cannot be altered. I have combined the two titles you have indicated are the same. That is the best we can do.

H.R. Moore | 38 comments Can you please undo that? That wasn't the problem. The problem is that for book 2, it won't let me add the ASIN or link the two books in the Cruel Goddess series together (Bride of Stars and Sacrifice and Daughter of Secrets and Sorcery). I just want to fix that.

I want to make sure this book is showing the correct ASIN (B0CWJ172CC - as per what's on Amazon): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.amazon.com/Daughter-Secre...

And I want to link these books so they show as books 1 and 2 of the Cruel Goddess series:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It might not have been the problem you asked about, but it needed to be done.

I have created the series:

H.R. Moore | 38 comments It didn't need to be done. They're different books with different titles and different series titles, so it doesn't make any sense to a reader. Please could you undo this.

Thanks re the series page, that helps.

H.R. Moore | 38 comments Also, please could you correct the ASIN for Daughter of Secrets and Sorcery as that's still incorrect. It should be: B0CWJ172CC

They are the same book, as you have stated yourself and it also is stated in the book's description.

Also, please could you correct the ASIN for Daughter of Secrets and Sorcery as that's still incorrect. It should be: B0CWJ172CC

ASINs cannot be altered.

The page for that ASIN can no longer be accessed, I suspect because the title has been changed to remove the book title and leave the series. Contact support and see if they can bring it back.
