I'm a bit of a dunce still with this stuff, so my apologies if this is something I should have been able to work out how to do myself.

I have against my profile Never Too Late. I've now given birth to its sister, New Beginnings, and given both professional covers. So, my question is, how do I change the details and cover image for NTL, and add the new book?

Many thanks
Jay

We keep the old cover, out of courtesy to the members who have copies, and add an alternate cover edition with the new cover, and any new details.

To do that, and to add the new book, we need the following info:

Title:
Author:
ISBN/ASIN#:
Publisher:
Date of Publication:
Format (ebook, hardback, etc):
Description, if desired:
Cover image:

The cover image must be from a nonbookseller site. We legally cannot pull images directly from Amazon. You can provide a link to the image on your page, or on your publisher's page, or you can upload the image to your photos on GR, and we can pull it from there. :)

Gosh, you're much more on the ball than I am! Good morning to you :)

OK, then, the new book:
Title: New Beginnings (Changes Book 2)
Author: Jay Howard
Publisher: me - on KDP and Smashwords
Date of publication: 29/08/2012
Format: ebook
Description:

In the small village of Holmsford, residents old and new gear up for the Christmas celebrations, but not everything goes to plan. Secrets and sleigh rides, new love and heartache, all get mixed up in the festive pot.

In the McTavish household, Maggie is certain Iain is still hiding something. Her son, James, is now settled, but what of their tempestuous daughter, Chloe?

Chloe is struggling to find the love she craves and forge a new career. Then she drops a bombshell in her mother’s lap that threatens to blow the family apart.

cover image: how do I upload photos on GR? Or can you get the 2 images from:
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
since it was me that put them there and I have the copyright.

If possible, I'd also like the blurb for Never Too Late to be changed to match the 2nd edition:

Relationships can strain to breaking point when there are too many secrets, too many problems not faced.

Maggie is forced to make tough choices when her husband is left in a coma and his secrets start to surface. The changes to her life inevitably have repercussions for her son and daughter. What choices will they make to bring about the changes they need?

Maggie must find her inner strength, for herself and her children, and she will never see life in quite the same way again.

Many thanks for you help with this.

Hello again
On my way out I spotted the photos link so loaded them both. Are they OK? Or do you need me to try and compress them or anything?
cheers
Jay

OK so I've created the new book here. I've also added the Smashwords edition of your first book here.
To be able to add the Kindle edition I'll need the ASIN that Amazon provides.
Also Smashwords is a perfectly acceptable place to get the images from (they qualify as a publisher, even if they do sell the books as well).
ETA: Created the series.

Wow! thanks :)
The ASINs are:
NTL: B0061QWPU0
NB: B0061QWPU0

thank you!
Jay

I believe you may have accidentally pasted the same ASIN twice. At any rate that ASIN is already in the system (I'll add an alternate cover edition for it though).

Doh! Trying to do too many things at once lol!
you're quite right - the one I gave is Never Too Late, the new book's one (New Beginnings) is B00935JW34

How do you stay so polite with people like me not paying attention?
Thanks again.
Jay

OK! Here is the Kindle edition of your second book. I think everything's been finished.

Hah, what you're doing isn't bad. Some days I have trouble remembering that the floor is for walking on not for spontaneously lying down for a nap. :)

Wait...what? ::gets up off the floor::

I disagree with that statement.

Haha! I've just sat in the sunshine to do a bit of research on my Kindle - and woke up nearly an hour later.
