I’ve been letting REVISIONARY hang over my head for about a week longer than I should have. The problem was that checking a proof copy for errors is simultaneously tiresome, frustrating, and futile. It must be done; you will catch errors that have managed to elude you thus far; and you cannot hope to catch all the other errors that have managed to elude you thus far. There’s a joke in this business that the best way to instantly find mistakes is to push ‘Send,’ only nobody’s laughing. Or at least they’re not laughing with humor.
Next up: second pass-through on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION story edits. That link offers a discount on signed copies of REVISIONARY and ANAGNORISIS, by the way. Just saying.
Bought it on Amazon, devoured the first three stories in one sitting.

Enjoyed all three, although I’m apparently a bit light on recognizing Cthulu-mythos hints as the third story required some googling to turn on the light bulb and push the penny off the edge.

I have not, to date, stumbled over a grammatical or story-flow error.

The third one is supposed to be really subtle. Possibly too subtle, but I reserve the right. 🙂
I wouldn’t say too subtle .. and not just because it is your right. I like stories that make me go and learn something new.

p.s. there’s a chocolate manufacturer with a really similar name to the hook .. just so you’re aware.
