You are welcome. I was hoping that would be the case. But sometimes you never know and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any perceived toes.

Haven is almost up to 1500 downloads! Wouldn't *you* like to get in on the action?

Hi,

I am just looking at my download of Haven and I just wanted to double check that there should be 2 chapters that are both called Insomnia?? They are chapters 24 and 30.

Kemp · 02-13-2010, 02:19 PM

Yeah, there are a couple of small issues with chapter numbering and... err... titles... rest assured that when I decide to do a revision upload, those will be taken care of. Hopefully, they are among the least of the errors to be found in the manuscript. I do promise that they aren't the same chapter.

It's hard to see without a Table of Contents!

AFK_Matrix · 02-13-2010, 02:55 PM

Ok thanks for that Kemp, Im going through the book at the moment altering it with BookCreator to get it like I want. Do you know what the title of that chapter is supposed to be so I can change it?

Kemp · 02-13-2010, 03:32 PM

Chapter 24 should be called Riddles, and Chapter 30 should be called Insomnia;

If people reading happen to notice a medium to high frequency of typos or anything like that, let me know. I was fairly confident that my most recent edit took care of those issues, but I would like to know if the manuscript suffers because of them.

That being said, I certainly don't people to go out of their way to post every single typo; just let me know if the frequency is around a less-than tolerable range.

I am in the process of reading this book(only taking a break to eat-I do not eat around my beloved reader) and I am enjoying it greatly!!! I am about half way thru it!!

Great book so far, I've been reading it for the last few days (splitting time with the Olympics) and I've enjoyed it thoroughly!! Yes, I've noticed a few typos, mostly in the nature of what I'm assuming are missing words. I'll see if I can remember to make a note of ones I see in the future and let you know what I find.

Kemp · 02-16-2010, 09:39 AM

Bah, well, I suppose another full proofreading run is in order. Hopefully it's not just the Smashwords Meatgrinder program that's screwing things up; there wouldn't be a whole lot I could do about that >.<

Oh, and thanks very much to everyone reading it!

Hi Kemp,

Yeah I have found a few spelling mistakes as I go along, but I'm not sure if thats cos they are spelt in the American way and my word checker is for the UK. I am currently going through the book with BookCreator to make it how I like it, but I am also correcting the spelling etc. I will eventually put it into LRF if you wanted I can send you a copy. Not sure how useful it would be but I'm happy to do it.

If I do send you a copy then I can recommend a program called Beyond Compare. Basically it will open up your copy right next to mine and then highlight the differences, might be a usefull tool for you.

Kemp · 02-16-2010, 02:40 PM

I'm sure that such a thing would be incredibly helpful, and thanks very much; I appreciate the time and effort taken.
