Very few changes post eARC. Usually just some typos, maybe a formatting fix, that sort of thing. But actual content -- only the most trivial changes at that point. But there's a price, and it's $15 USD for an eARC. A bit dear for me.
But I wasn't clear. There are three more books under contract after Fair Trade. The first of those is a Jethri book, the second has the working title of "Tinsori Light: The Novel" -- so it isn't a Jethri book, and I am not at all sure what the last one is.
Yes, Sharon had cancer and while the prognosis is good, she did have a lost year between the treatment and the brain-fog that came with it. As she has said, she's really just starting to be able to write more than a short story.
I'm just grateful for whatever we get. (And yes, the lead time between submission and publication is a LOT more than I was used to in the computer book business. But, of course, we used to work in parallel: writing, tech editing, and editing simultaneously. )
