One of my sharp-eyed readers spotted a couple of flubs that had gotten through my editing. They were introduced after my editors last saw the story, so the fault is completely mine. They've been fixed now.
The same reader gave me a critique of the story so far - a very welcome critique. There might be some things I can improve with edits to the current story, but it will also help me in stories going forward.
Please, everyone, if you find something that bothers you about my stories, let me know. It might be intentional or it might be something that I wasn't communicating clearly enough. It's also possible it was a mistake. I'll never know, though, if you don't point it out to me. Oh, and you'll have more chance of your comment being considered if you do it respectfully.
