Thank you Khalleron, I've always wondered. Hominy Grits sounds like a character in a fantasy - not the heroine, the scruffy youngster who turns up and gets the hero out of a sticky situation.

Grace, before I epublished I changed single quotes to double for my American readers (I already use 'ize' instead of upstart 'ise'). It took AGES - I did Find and Replace, but of course it replaced all the apostrophes too, and I had to pick them out one by one. But it was worth it.

I reckon Remix is typo-free (UK spelling). When I'm hawking the paperback round the bookshops, I'll offer the owners a fiver for each typo they find.
