Christina’s review of The Hazard Trade: A novel of occupied Newport - 1778 > Likes and Comments

Thanks for that feedback, Christina. This has now been addressed, the redundant sentences you called out.

I had the same exact feedback from another reader a week or two ago - who pointed out a few specific spots where the same sentence appeared. This was an artifact to my writing process. The first 6 chapters were published standalone, and this led to some repetition inherently. And I often move things around as I write - copying and pasting paragraphs, rewriting them. I unfortunately left a few things in their original location after moving them. And even though I have a professional editor, this was a miss on my part.

I went back through the entire novel and used some tools to find redundant sentences, and was embarrassed to find more of them than I would ever have assumed. If you have the eBook - you can force it to download a new copy and those issues hopefully were all found. But anyone downloading for the first time should have this all resolved. Thanks again!

Oh - and I also fixed it in the print copy - so new readers who order a print copy will get the new text as well. The beauty of on-demand printing. For those who bought the print version previously, if you would like a fixed version - please send me a picture of yourself with your print copy, and your mailing address and I'll send you a new one. eric@ericpicard.com
