Emend by Eclipse (Emending Emend by Eclipse)

I have just uploaded revisions of two chapters. Chapter 8, I've corrected the event at the end of the chapter to one that actually occurred on that day. Chapter 12, I've correct the 400 -> 200 dollar mistake. It should now be a consistent 400 dollars (or was that 200?).

Of the two errors, the second generated more emails. It might be that a smaller audience was aware of the first error. As one might expect, most of the emails about the Brisbane flood came from Aussies. I replaced that event with the death of Duke Ellington.

I'm still kind of confused about how that error happened. I picked a date, wrote the chapter, and then went to newspapers to find out what happened that day. I still can't find what article lead me to pick the Brisbane flood as happening that day.

I have to confess that Chapter 12 generated more emails than any other chapter of this story and all but one or two was about the money amount changing. I read that chapter dozens of times and never even caught a hint of it.

One last thing to all of those who wrote informing me that they bought a copy of the book, I do appreciate it and would like to thank you for buying it. I would have thanked you by email, but to be honest, I haven't figured out a good way to wade through a large number of emails to respond to a specific one in the new SOL email system. I have them all forwarded to my regular email account which I read once or twice a week now with my current work schedule. The problem is that I can't respond via it so I have to go back to the email program provided by SOL (with no disrespect to Lazeez - I absolutely hate it). It's one of those things where I get irritated at the tool and spend so much time bitching at the computer that I forget what I'm doing.

For those who asked, there are 60 chapters to the story.
