The Many Lives of Inez Wick is Done! Join the Party!


Facebook Virtual Release Party
Woot! I'm done editing the proof. The new release date is March 1, 2011, a few days from now. I'll post an announcement will a link to where the book can be purchased on March 1st.

Here are some editing highlights:

  • Table of Contents page numbers were all off by 10 pages
  • Using italic for internal monologue in "The Bike Mechanic"
  • Clarity - using nouns instead of pronouns (something that I teach my English students)
  • Consistency - if I write eight-ball then all ___-balls should be hyphenated
  • Making sure that all names from previous story editions were changed to "Inez Wick"
  • If errors had winners, here it is: "kitten/dinning room" should be "kitchen/dining room"
Taking the time for the final edit was well worth it. Readers will now have a better book and a much clearer read! 

Make sure that you join the Facebook Virtual Party to win one of two copies, or you can comment on the this post for a chance to win one copy. (But not both - does that make sense?) 

Hope to see you - virtually - on March 1st.
