Editors Aren't Perfect
I only work 7 days a week, the rest of my time I am free to do as I like.
For the first version of "The Knights of the Cold War and the Road to Bin Laden" I had the help of an editor. Not so much as for help with the story, but the formatting.
I am a good storyteller but I don't know a period from a platypus or a paragraph from a persimmon!
When I got the book back from the editor, I checked OK to all the changes and sent it off to the printer....
Many typos still!!!!!
My bad.
We use editors because we are not perfect, guess what; Editors aren't perfect either, we need to proof read their work just like we pay them to proof read ours.
In the end, it is our book and we get the ultimate credit, or blame.
Learn from my mistake and proof read the proof reader. It will save you grief!
This 2015 version has been proof read much better and I am glad I did the re-write because I added so much to the 2014 version it is much better.
A little bit sexier, a little bit funnier, an even faster, more addicting story and more than a bit scary.
Welcome to the dark side of the CIA.
Like the true story of how JFK/RFK tried to hire the Mafia to kill Castro, true story. I would know.
And a little more background of William Hampstead.
Friends in high places, friends in low places, you know the drill.
Anyone who got the 2014 version in a Goodreads giveaway send me an address and I will be happy to send you the 2015 re-write for free.
It is worth reading.
