Linda D, I wanted to get back to you regarding The Claus Cause, which I read in January. Back then, I was only noting errors, not including the page number or the context. I did find a few, so here they are: p. 1, in her parent's condo (parents' condo, since it belongs to both parents) ; p. 24, get back to my parents' condo (ditto) ; p. 24, unlocked her parents' car ; p. 26, into her parents' parking spot ; p. 45, Tina's parents' car ; p. 51, your parents' car ; p. 95, her parents' car ; p. 22, if I'm going alone ARE not (OR not) ; p. 58, She took a few deep BREATHES (BREATHS) ; p. 106, She may have been poisoned, or she might've (She might have been poisoned ... This is a stylistic choice, but when dealing with uncertain occurrences in the past, I prefer MIGHT, especially as it provides parallelism with the rest of the phrase.)

Before you ask, I was never an English teacher, but I did learn the importance of precision as a computer programmer for 35 years. I have also read The Daughter Claus, but I had not started noting errors at that point. I could go back and re-read it if you wish? -- Linda

D. Thrush Thanks for your diligent eye! I appreciate it. It looks like I already fixed most of these in the latest version. I would certainly appreciate it if you wanted to read The Daughter Claus again but I won't ask that of you unless you enjoyed the story enough to read it again. I don't need page numbers. I can search the text by phrases. Thanks, though. I usually catch errors in other books but maybe it's more difficult to see my own. I'm going to friend you here on GR.
