I learned a lot of things since e-publishing FUNERAL PARTY in 8/11. The most embarrassing thing I learned is that I need an editor. I mean, I wrote the damn thing, and read it again five times, and had friends read it--some of whom, and I thank you, A.C.--actually told me about mistakes. Most just said it was fine. So I thought everything was fixed.
Your eyes just glaze over anything you've re-written and re-read. You don't see it. Plus, even though I got an A+ in English in Grammar School, that was eons ago. And all these m--dashes and serial commas and stuff are like little bottles of airplane gin distracting me on a word flight.
So Funeral Party has been re-edited--professionally--and I will re-publish it. If you bought it, I will notify Amazon.com to send you a fresh edition. If you got it from Smashwords, I don't know yet if they do that, but if not, I'll e-mail you the file in any format you want. If I sent you a free copy, I'll still send you the new file.
Just let me know, and I'll try to make sure you get a good copy--if you want it, of course.
I certainly hope you do. And again, I apologize for being too quick on the trigger. I won't do it again.
BTW, this post was not professionally edited.
But wait--one more thing: I put up my new website, which is http://www.paulmcmurray.com/. As usual, I am in a learning stage with it, so bear with me. Also, the links to buy the Zak & Freddy caper (FUNERAL PARTY) will have new links to Amazon and B&N and Smashwords in about a week. I'll update the website as soon as I get the new info. Again, any problem, let me know: mrlucky@paulmcmurray.com.
I'm 1/3 of the way through the next caper: THE WILDING (Mystery, Murder, & Martinis #2: Street Survival). The beginning chapters are on the new FUNERAL PARTY.
Hope to hear from you.
Paul
