Like the idea of these novellas. Great idea, very fresh. Can't wait for the next one. Get a spellchecker /editor though.... ;) . No, the grammar and spelling blooms do not detract from the stories. Yes, they would though still be better after an edit/spellcheck. Always remember one of the first editions of one of your first books when the bad guys were struck down by 'lighting'... I took it they were not massively photo sensitive...!
ah yes i remember that typo. sometimes it is hard to catch the errors myself. My brain tends to fix them as i read and not alert me to the mistake. I do have a spellchecker but even she will miss a lot when it comes to pages of work. I have also tried a number of professional services but they have all failed as well. I have tried using fans as well and works well until they try and change the story itself. it is one of my most stressing problems.
I'd volunteer myself but time and all that. I spot stuff as I read and it would be great if I could flag it on Kindle to you without breaking my read... Coming back to one I've purchased and read just isn't the same. . I could convert to word though and track changes? . One big one in the latest series is where it says 'adventure' when it should read 'adventurer' when describing a person rather than a quest etc...
great book again it would be cool if he started making potions
