Everett, Yes, that’s my take on the two works, although the author also describes one as a companion, or spinoff, of the other, so he seems to consider them related in some complementary way. I wondered whether I needed a designator like “companion to” or “spinoff of” or something like that. The basic question is do we want to be able to refer users from one to the other, or is the same creator enough of a link?

Adam, Sara and All : Hi -- I agree with Sara as well -- two separate works loosely, or not, aimed at two separate audiences. Based on the press release, it sounds as though Cain's blood is aimed at adult readers, and Project Cain at the teen/young adult audience. <snip> "In September Simon & Schuster will publish my first two novels at the same time. The first, Cain's Blood, is a techno thriller from Touchstone Books. The second, Project Cain, is a stand-alone companion novel for teen readers from Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers. <snip> cheers, everett On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 10:34 PM, Trina Pundurs <tpund...@library.berkeley.edu> wrote: Hi Sara and all, I'm not pouncing, I'm seconding.

Given the statement that these are "two different novels written about the same fictional event" I am not convinced that there is any direct relationship at all *between* the two novels as two Group 1 entities. They are both about the same (fictional) event, and are both by the same author-- but those relationships are between Group 1 and Group 3 entities, and between Group 1 and Group 2 entities-- and not between two Group 1 entities.
