All three of those books are on your profile. You have changed the titles, so you may need to look under the original title.
Oops, I replied before checking the link. The new covers disappeared and got combined with older versions of the books. Martin was helping me and said he separated them. I thought I saw them all before reading your comment. Now I can't see the newest books. I would prefer the newer covers to show first since the other books are delisted.This book isn't the same book as... see below

....as Bellarose and the Beast. It was combined with the prelude to get a new title/new cover

Same with this book, Jasper:

Not the same book even though some of the same content.
It shouldn't be combined with Bellarose and the Pirate.

Same with Quinn.

Different title/different cover - similar content with Bellarose and the Captain

Yes, but I now no longer see my new books on my profile page. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
They have been combined with those older editions.
All editions of a book should be combined as one work - even if they have been edited and the title changed.You can edit one of the new versions and select it as primary/default edition and that will then be the one displayed on your author page.

It didn't give me the option to select the new versions as primary/default edition. I saw one box to check for "default" and it was the book blurb. I received an error saying only a librarian can do that.
The newer books have more than just a new cover and title. They have totally changed because I combined the prequel and interlude books with them, but I understand if they need to be combined. The blurbs are wrong for each of the newer books now because they have the older books blurbs.
We don't know exactly what the control looks like, because we are not authors, but it should say something like set default/primary/main edition. You are the registered author, so it is there somewhere.

Thank you for your help and patience.

I believe Bellarose and the Beast (ISBN 979-8-9986941-0-3) accidentally got combined with Gerard and should be separated from it.
I have a full trilogy coming out in November to replace the old trilogy and wanted them all listed with the same series name and same subtitle name, but can't make it happen. Is there a place for a subtitle? Trying to match Amazon's listings.
Bellarose and the Beast (ISBN 979-8-9986941-0-3) Series: The Aerowyn Tales #1/ Subtitle: Twisted Fairy Tale Series
Bellarose and the Pirate (ISBN 979-8-9986941-2-7) Series: The Aerowyn Tales #2/ Subtitle: Twisted Fairy Tale Series
Bellarose and the Captain (ISBN 979-8-9986941-4-1) Series: The Aerowyn Tales #3 / Subtitle: Twisted Fairy Tale Series
