BUT, that being said, any idea in that direction is too clever by half--by which I mean, it's not. No reader thinks it's amusing for a writer to "give them" an error, so that they can behave like performing monkeys expected to do a trick for a peanut. That's ridiculous. And you're right, Cin; those of us who read have little patience with that type of errata. Just because the book is supposed to be an over-the-top Dark Comedy doesn't mean that it can get away with mistakes disguised (excused) as Easter Eggs.

Hitch, I didn't really mean I hoped readers would call me out. I just meant in a scene loaded with so much action I didn't think people were going to stop and think: "Hey, Lainey has experience in a Buddhist Monastery? Wait, no, aren't only men in Buddhist Monasteries?" That sort of thing. I'm not out to jerk anybody around.
