Hello,

We've had a recent spat of Russian spambots to our little website. It added several dozen spam accounts to the site and caused all kinds of wonderful havoc. Because of this, we're shutting down the Registration for the website for a while to stop the bots from doing what they're been doing. I also deleted a LOT of accounts that I believed to be part of the tsunami. If I inadvertently deleted your account, please forgive me and contact me to let me know. We'll get you back onsite asap.

Best wishes everyone!

Mistakes in the book

Unread postby Kat » Thu Sep 18, 2014 9:11 am

In The first chapter of Mr Hartley (around position 90 on kindle) there's this sentence:
When you saw things other people don't, even if only part of the time, it's was generally best not to get behind the wheel of a giant death machine.

;)

Also:
Yay it's here!!!! :D

Also: Around Position 2148 '...under supervision of an experience individual transform Samuel...'
2330: 'You must be the famous, Mr. Hartley.'
I'd say that pretty much count's.

That because Zack see's things not there, like a premonition of a animal/person whatever... that will cross the road soon, and slams on the brakes when there's really nothing there.

So he doesn't drive since he might cause an accident doing that.

Made sense to me... :?:

Generally speaking Kat, it's considered poor form to criticize an author's work on a forum that he, himself, hosts. Perhaps, a better idea would be to volunteer to be a first reader (pre-release) to help catch those pesky errata before they get into print. Sometimes it's just innocent typos though. It's possible that in this case the apostrophe s OR the was, wasn't needed. Perhaps Dale wasn't sure which verb tense was correct at the time and left both for a later choice, only to miss it in a later edit. Who knows? Small worry really don't you think?

Which actually is pretty amusing.

I'm a proofreader, so I missed it twice. All my fault.

Kindle book places like that are meaningless for editing. Also, you can just e-mail me with stuff.
