Just finished your new book! Loved it! This is the best one so far. There is 2 mistakes I noticed. One concerns a sentence where Maggie is sitting on the porch steps waiting for Eve and Mother return from the neighbor’s house. The other one is near the end of the story where Tabby says to Maggie, “Four ruffians down and a missing man rescued. Not a bad night’s work for 2 women, do you think?” Do you think doesn’t make sense, I think you meant to say, “don’t you think?” The word do doesn’t work very well in this sentence, it doesn’t roll of the tongue correctly. If I’m jolted to a stop while reading then I know something is wrong with what I just read. Here’s a helpful hint that I used when I was the editor of an online Star Trek newsletter: If you’re hung up on a word (whether it’s right or not), read the sentence out loud. It’s amazing the difference that will make. Your ears will tell you if it’s right or not. Our brains tend to either gloss over it or replace it without physically replacing the written word. I am so looking forward to reading how Maggie adjusts to WWII in the next book! I will be leaving reviews at Goodreads, Amazon and chatting it up on facebook in the Thrillers, Suspense and Mystery Readers Group!
Thanks so much, Debbie. I’m glad you enjoyed it. For some reason, my reply to you got lost the first time. Hopefully this one will stick! Thanks for taking the time to write.
