Tinkering and Updating

During the summer and fall of 2021 I spent a lot of time rereading my own work and tinkering with it and then updating the books. Books that got updated with minor tweaks and corrections of typos, punctuation errors, and such were The Value of Jade, Dalton Cove, Minx Marvel, Camden Lake, Bolt's Landing, Cherry, The Clockmaker's Son, Bending Birches, Fugitives/Survivors, butterscotch: a collection of stories, and The Worth of a Woman. The Subtlety of Light and Shadow got a major overhaul. It was transformed into Whisper Lake, the first of the romance/suspense/drama/crime novels set near bodies of water. It was converted to the easier to hold 5x8 format with a new cover image accompanying the new title. I've read additional novels that I've self-published and will continue to make my books the very best that they can be because a big pet peeve of mine is buying a book that has errors in it. It drives me crazy! (These aren't self-published books either-just sloppy proofreading by major publishing houses!) I read with a pen in hand making corrections to other people's work. I use it as a learning tool as well as a reminder to proofread and scrutinize my own work before I upload a file and create a book...but still little things slip through.
