Awesome. Congrats all round.

Vaguely related I've got posts out on two places at the moment

The first one especially was tweeted around a huge amount yesterday my Mrs N's followers. I've just got everything crossed that someone else reads what I'm writing.

I'm not on social media, but I read the excerpt and left a message. YIKES! Nice job, Amy."

Thanks Denise.

No problem. I use them both all the time now. I've got the free version of Grammarly, but I upgraded the PWA and paid for the extras. I swear they disagree with each other but they are good for double checking things.

Hi Denise,

I ran it through Grammarly and ProWritingAid for punctuation. It took some commas out and came out with this:
-----

"Time suckles memories and horrors of our lives. It brings clarity to the inevitable."

With violence on the rise in Chicago, Detectives Row Ferguson and Jonah Rome’s strained partnership increases tension within the District when they are assigned the year’s most gruesome murders. A young man and two attorneys tortured and painted with their own blood. Pieces of metal left at each scene—the killer’s signature. The city’s leaders, their boss, and the families of the victims are eager for justice, but they’re all unwilling to become involved or support the direction of the cases. Ferguson and Rome must find new angles for a resolution. But the disappearance of evidence and one of the detectives jeopardizes their futures.

Is someone trying to sabotage the cases? Will they find the killer before they lose more than their reputation?

Don't know if that helps.

Well done Elina, it’s a major step. Good luck with it.

Thanks Alex, appreciate it as always.

Ugh. I wish they would explain themselves. Good job you’ve got others.

No way! My Dad worked for the SA government so I suppose I grew up with that knowledge even if I've never visited.

How do you mean lost one Alex? Did Amazon delete it?

CeDany I've joined groups only to find that I was the only person to post in a few months. What I found on Goodreads was a lot of categories relevant to me were dormant. Some of the others had a lot of rules. Some of them had no interest in hearing about a new author. And lastly some of them used too many flashing images and I found it completely off-putting and left due to impending headaches.

I have a stinking cold. I've had a bad throat for days and now finally I have the cold. Hopefully by the weekend I'll be better. Feel rotten,

I am also here introducing Radish Fiction if you can share, please do.

I have appeared on this web site. If you wouldn't mind sharing if and when you can. Thanks.

Well done everyone. I like all the good news.

I've also got a thing that reads out loud to me. It's brilliant. Things I wish I had before I published my first book were Grammarly, PWA and the read aloud option.

Apparently, editing is no longer required. At least it isn't by the two people who have provided written interviews for well known publications that I've just read on my phone's Google app from the last day...

It would have to be the horror paranormal for me too. I don’t do “normal” I just don’t understand it.

Just submitted Iridessian Haunts to the Radish Halloween collection now that there's enough of it written to do so. "give us a halloween story" they said in late September. Me two weeks later: OK here's something brand new. (They'd better bloody feature it lol)

I will no doubt at some stage call something The Invisible Author now.

I am the invisible author.

Thanks Alex. I’ve just found an episode of Missing Remnants for next week in my notebook too. I’ve either just got to type it up and edit or I’ve already done that bit too. Getting ahead again. Just need people to see me. So very invisible. Promos starting tomorrow.

After a very frustrating day, I have typed up what I have of Iridessian Haunts episodes 5 and 6. That's not bad. I only published the first episode on 30th September. Tomorrow I need to write next week's episode of Missing Remnants or I'll be behind and Carole will miss Track (nods!)

That must make it interesting Angel!
