Shirley asked Shannon Messenger:

Just a quick question: is shadowvapor spelled with an "o" or an "e"? I've seen both spellings in Neverseen.

Shannon Messenger LOL, I knew it would only be a matter of time before a reader caught this typo. I noticed it at the point when it was too late to change it. And yes, I know--*gasp*--books have typos? They always have at least a few, especially in the first editions. I proofread the book dozens of times on my own, and then my publisher pays people to proofread it several times as well. But eyes can play tricks, and a few things always slip through. And this, sadly, was one of them (an especially sneaky one because it's an invented word, so spell check is no help) So the correct spelling is with the o, and in later printings that typo will be corrected, as well as a few others that sharp-eyed readers have caught. ;)
