Pesky Errors

Can't seem to get past those pesky word processing errors on the ARC. It's like, finally I'm getting Killer of Killers published. Finally it got edited, and finally the ARC arrives. Only it's not good to go. But it's a good thing that ARCs exist. It's the last chance an author has to make sure the book is free of errors. Well, I'm the author, and inspect it I did.

And as is, it's not good to go. Melange fixed the Author page as I requested, but those word processing errors seem to hang on like, well, I suppose there's a ton of similes that would work here.  And I'd like to use one. But I've gotten out of the habit ever since most writing sites advise against using them in your prose.

But I sent word back to Nancy with a revised itemized list of things to correct. So it's back to waiting. Waiting? Where have I heard that before? Stay tuned.
