Just six hours now until my talk at Daniel David Wallace's Escape the Plot Forest 2025: forest.plotsummit.com/talks/solve-...

Making 3 tiny tweaks to Cold Heart I spied a typo in some changed text. One proofread later, 5 typos and 1 continuity error fixed, and a few thousand sentences polished even smoother!
And the cover? A teaser, thanks to David Peterson.

I now have the cover art for Cold Heart (Leeth's mission: assassinate the world's first truly sentient AI, in Antarctica), which I'll share soon.
Meanwhile, here's a tiny teaser. (Art by David Peterson, which Mirella de Santana added in...)

The Smashwords mid-year sale ends in just a few days, so I thought it might be fun to read the opening line of each of my books!

(All my books are half price till the end of July... and Wild Thing remains free!)

I thought I had until June 30 to join the annual ‪@smashwords.bsky.social‬ month long Summer/Winter Sale. (Ended June 29)
Luckily, I'm here in the future, in winter, so I sneaked in.😅
I've made all my books half price at Smashwords, for all of July.
Lots of other authors too! #SWSale2025 #Smashwords

Seven and a bit pages of tweaks and small corrections for Cold Heart, Leeth Ascending vol. 2, from my tablet proofread. [Maybe 6 typos?]
Next: apply those changes to the MS, then print it for my final proofread.

Whew!
Exactly two months after starting my changes to Cold Heart (Leeth Ascending vol. 2) following the edits by thEditors.com, I’ve completed my 1st pass.
10K words (35 pages) shorter: 147k (466pp).
Next: the trickier changes.
