Currently reading the Hunter series. Enjoying it, but all the grammatical and word errors are driving me crazy. Doesn't anyone proofread for you? I would be happy to. --Chris Robertson, chris@goldgryph.com

Which book?
Also, how are you reading? Recent buy? Re-read of an older series? Reading through KU, but downloaded a long time ago?
Yes I have a proofreader, but most of series 4 and before was without one. The early couple of series have been re-edited, but not since my own proofing skills improved a lot.
All the books get any errors flagged by Amazon fixed. So if you highlight some, and they notify me, they will get fixed. But you have to manually update them after they get updated.
The other problem is after updating, apparently KU never gives you the updated version, only the version you downloaded the first time. So anyone re-reading one of the early series may never see the updated versions. Amazon won't say why they do that.
If I receive notifications of goofs, I do fix them. On Facebook, I put a thread in my universe group and page for each new book in case I did miss something. And I can always be sent anything privately though Facebook Messenger. All I need is the book, a short search term, and the suggested fix.

Timothy Ellis:
Since your books are no longer available through KU, and you are clearly unhappy with that arrangement, is there a seller that we as the readers can opt to purchase your books from other than Amazon? I admit, I've been reading your books thought what IS available through KU. If it is of no real benefit to you, however, I will do my part in helping you keep the lights on! I know you cannot say much in this regard ....
