Steelwhisper | 31 comments I'm sorry, but I need help! ;)

I'm trying to set up a series called "Outsider". Book #1 is "Third Watch" and only in that series. Book #1.5 is a short story which is both the second "book" of "Outsider" and also belongs willy-nilly into "Love Is Always Write" as it was written for that challenge. Eventually there will be a full novel again which will be #2.

Somehow I can't get the format right. I sometimes end up with two instances of e.g. (Outsider, #1), or it lacks from the title, and I also can't seem to coax the system to displey the series as a series under the single items booklist on my author page.

Please advise! I'm stumped by now :)

As I may have to do something similar again, I'd be very happy to hear where I went wrong! Thanks :)

It is curious though, now the series is visible on the author page, but only one book ;)

I will wait, I thought it's like book creation--you get to see all immediately...

That's because there's only one primary book in the series (Evening Rounds is a short story, so it's not primary). Mini-views of the series show only the covers of the primary books.

Steelwhisper | 31 comments Hm. Is there a way to make it visible though?

The edit log only shows edits by you.

Steelwhisper | 31 comments Curiouser and curiouser ;) So I must have done it right, I was so convinced I did everything wrong! :)
