I noticed that I haven't updated the blog in a while. Well, maybe not for the better part of a decade.
Thanks to the pandemic, I find myself with time to revisit the Jake Fielding stories. I've spent the last month revising the first book. I've been reposting newly-edited chapters at the pace of one per day, and I'm now about 3/4 of the way through Book I.
I plan to continue at this pace until all three books have been revised. I encourage anyone who is inclined that way to re-read the first book. I think this latest pass through has made the story a better read.
I would like to thank CoullPert who jump-started my revision project by sending a bunch of corrections. I remain puzzled about how I can go through a file six to ten times and not notice the remaining errors. There is just no substitute for independent eyeballs.
As always, I welcome reader corrections. If you happen to notice any remaining detritus in the text, I hope you will dash me off an email. Just paste in the offending passage. I will be exceedingly grateful.
It's not looking like I'll return to my old job. My employer used the impetus of the lockdown to streamline how they did things. Kudos to them. Too bad for me.
That does mean that an unexpected extended block of free time has opened up for me. There may be an announcement about Book IV in the near future.
