Agreed, another ballgame altogether. Like nomesque, I've done my share of tech writing, and for that stuff, if an editor challenged the expertise I hold in my field (pre-media), I'd have to say, "Look, who's the expert here? Fix the grammar all you want, but hey, back off."
So it's different. When you spend more than half your life doing something, you feel strongly about your knowledge. Since fiction writing, for me, doesn't fall in that category, I'll certainly listen to the advice of others.

Excellent, and thank you. I have to be honest and offer full disclosure. Of course I recommend the book as one of her clients, but more than that, I am also the book's publisher. For me, the book is that good. I hope you and others agree. It will appear in print within a week or so, Amazon and other outlets. For now, check out Smashwords and the endorsements from Larry Brooks and Elizabeth Lyon. I believe this little jewel will be a hit.
