J.D. Semmes answered Matthew Mason's question: Have you got anywhere that's good to send any typos that we found in our ARC copy of The Viper and The Rose? I only finished mine the night before launch and had downloaded a fresh copy on the first, and I'd found a handful of typos/mispellings/punctuation - I assume most of them had been caught already but just wanted to ask/pass them along just in case they hadn't. Commented on a TT post of yours as well. Hey Matthew! Sorry I just saw this today. You can send your findings to my email at j.d.semmes89@gmail.com I really appreciate you helping out! J.D.
