I just started reading this book and am loving it so far, but I have to ask, did anyone else have issues with the editing on their Kindle version? Not grammar, but where words are missing spacing all together? In some parts, I swear a string of 5 words would be together at one time, or a word would be split between two others. Its really frustrating sometimes!

Lindsay, This happens all the time in lots of otherwise well edited books. While I do not have a definitive answer as to why it happens, I believe it has to do with not cleaning out all the notes and changes in the editing process. I suspect this is more common where the editors used different word processing software. The Smashwords Style Guide offers authors a system for avoiding this problem called the "nuclear option" which while it removes all the errant control codes and spurious material completely eliminates all formatting.
