Hello John – I tried to use your Contact page. Unfortunately it appears not to be working. I have read all three of your Archer Devereaux books published to date and enjoyed them thoroughly.
I did want to ask if you would be interested in having some additional proofreading support. For example, in “Fondness for Adversity” I found the following 9 items:
– had tied Brahe too close to the Scyllans (too closely) p4
– splashed onto him the glass hit the floor (when the glass hit the floor) p26
– First-rank Halvorsen (First-rank Captain Halvorsen) p39
– Look, numbness (numbnuts) p93
– More drones were woken (were woken up OR were awakened) p168
– Chief of Boat (Chief of the Boat) p182
– she exclaimed comm unit (she exclaimed into he comm unit) p225
– Easy-peezy (Easy-peasy) p263
– tell him to head to Regulas (Regulus) p264
I can turn around proof comments in 2-3 days for a 350 page manuscript. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Best Regards,
Peter Hartley
