What kind things you say about my little-ole books. Erin: "edit" has many meanings -- copy edit, line edit, developmental edit, etc-- so I cannot be sure which sense you mean when you say the book needed an edit. Certainly, however, the first printing of Acts is filled with an embarrassingly large number of minor typos & similar. The book was "rushed" into print (after 4 years gestation) & did not get a final proofread. However, I did clean up the source, and the PDF version of the book on Wetmachine.com has several hundred corrections. If I ever do a second printing -- and that's looking likely, actually -- the text will be much cleaner. But just think, maybe someday your 1st edition of Acts, warts and all, will be worth a mint on Ebay, sort of how imperfect stamps are worth so much more to philatelists than boring old error-free stamps. Jeffrey,

I enjoyed <i>Acts</i> despite the fact that it desperately needed an edit, and I look forward to the new one. Hey, thanks for the heads-up.
