Reading a review about the self-pub book she did, I come across this...
Quote:
There was a small bit of continuity error on the timeline of the island. They were on it technically 3 years but at least twice it was said they were there for 4 years. The land in early June 2001. In June 2002, that's 1 year. In June 2003, that's 2 years. In June 2004, that's 3 years. They get rescued at the end of 2004. So that's 3 years and 6 months. Almost an even 3yrs,6mos. But that's so tiny and considering all they go through it DOES feel like they were there longer.

This is the stuff editors are made of.
Amazon kindly lets me read the first chapter. The writing is decent but amateurish. It is engaging (and I'm not easily engaged) but lacks the descriptive talent of a professional writer. It isn't very believable.
A really good developmental editor could do wonders.
