Hey Everyone,

I am pleased to share that I have finished proofing The Dark Thorn. 

It took longer than I expected, of course, but it is done. And to be honest, I'm happy I did it. I found three misspellings. I found a quotation mark not closing off a character's spoken words. I found about 20 "the" words missing in front of "Cardinal Seer." And I found numerous sentences that just didn't need to be in there as they added nothing to the overall story. There were probably about 75 changes from the ARC edition.

So the book is vastly improved, even from the edit. Now the proofed book goes to my book designer. She will make the changes to the final InDesign document. Then a few things will happen at once:

For the ebook, I think I'm going to do a Zoom or Facebook Live or something so you can see me take the final book and create the ebook. Should be fun and I can answer questions while I work. More on that once I get the file. And when I'm done with creating the ebook, I'll get the digital package together and send both out at once as soon as possible!

Here are some photos of the book I used to proof. When I found something I wanted to fix, I dog-eared the page. As you can see, there were a lot of dog-ears. 

Anyway, progress! This was easily the hardest thing to finish. The rest is on other people thankfully. 

Okay, back to work for me. I'm reading proof pages for the stories in Unavowed now. 

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!
