04-04-23, 2023 Grammar Correction For “ Heaven Sent Book 3 - A Shining Blade” Complete, So, Grammar Updated, Upgraded, Improved, and Corrected for April 2023 in “ Heaven Sent Book 3 - A Shining Blade,” all 306 pages of it. Next, I will be editing “ A Scottish American Fairy Tale.” In the meantime, dig in and enjoy reading “ Heaven Sent Book 3 - A Shining Blade.” One lonely day in Kansas farm country, a college professor is en route to a new job. Then, she encounters her biggest surprise ever. He is a handsome, intelligent, and faithful FBI agent. He is also battered and mangled with his equally battered and mangled government car at the side of the road. Kate soon finds herself mixed up in the dark world of Agent Gareth McFadyn. That is full of spies, terrorists, hackers, and corrupt bureaucracies. Her planned road trip, and career move, are ultimately derailed. But in the middle of this unforeseen mess and intrigue. Kate and Gareth together discover their similarities. And not their starkly different class backgrounds and upbringings. Together, the unlikely pair find a deep and lasting companionship. A binding faith in their God. A passion for fun and adventure. And more importantly than not, a burning will. It is to survive against all odds. That is when the evil machinations of Third Wave terrorist leader Klaus Vogle. These, along with some bad scummy office politics. And the selfish and greedy scheming of the industrial tycoon Father of Gareth, Andrew McFadyn. All of this seems to be conspiring against them. Thus, begins the modern-day fairy tale of a chivalrous knight and his fair and wise maiden. Follow agent Gareth Dru McFadyn and his random traveling companion, Kate Greenwood, on their odyssey of love, adventure, faith, morality, and patriotism in “ Heaven Sent.” “ Heaven Sent, Book 3: A Shining Blade.” Thus concludes the bloody Scotland adventure, followed by a legal misunderstanding in New York. And then, some more awful career melodrama back in Washington. Book 3 then continues with a horseback ride turned hunting trip in the Appalachian mountains. Then, a nighttime creeping and stalking showdown at the most famous lighthouse park in the nation. It then follows up with further deep and dark intrigues. Thus finally, it leads to a fabulous Episcopal wedding near the San Francisco harbor. And, ultimately, reaching the thrilling and exciting climax of “ Heaven Sent.” This is the minibook trilogy of “ Heaven Sent,” split into smaller pieces for better reader satisfaction and enjoyment. These, with books 1, 2, and 3, account for the main story. And the optional “Gareth File.” It is a documentary of the making of “ Heaven Sent.” And the optional “Misadventures of Jan and Travis.” It is a triple biography and memoir of the two authors. They are the late Janet C. Smyth, 1950-2014. And her son and editor, Travis L. Salisbury, 1980-????.
