Blind Seduction (33 page)

Traditionally published authors are often edited
multiple times. There are editors for storyline continuity,
spelling, past/present tense usage, and editors for punctuation and
grammar. Indie authors pay for their editor(s) out-of-pocket, and
usually have one or two editors review their work before it gets
published. Even the best editor can’t stack up against four or five
of them tag-teaming your novel. If you read Indie books regularly,
you probably notice they usually have more typos or other
errors.

As an author, I realize mistakes can distract from
the story line. I hate them myself, and every time I re-read my own
work, I seem to find at least one more thing I wish I’d caught the
first, second, and tenth time I reviewed the drafts. If you find an
error, please feel free to contact me at
[email protected]
so that I
can make a correction. Your input is important and can help me
build a better book.

Thank you for supporting me and other Indie authors
by purchasing our books. I appreciate you.

The author, T. Hammond, lives in Eastern Washington
State, with her energetic, sassy German shepherd, Molly; she's
quite the handful and almost as stubborn as her owner.

T feels writing is not a calling so much as it is a
compulsion. No one is more surprised than she is when characters
take over the plot and dialog, (re)directing stories in directions
she had not (consciously) intended. Although she starts out each
novel with a basic outline, she finds one or two chapters into the
novels, not only have the characters shredded her outline into tiny
unidentifiable pieces, they use the resulting confetti in a
nose-thumbing parade. She is fully convinced the writer is the tool
a story uses to tell its tale.
