Completing Edits

I finished the second round of edits for If A Butterfly Don't Fly and sent them back to the editor for the third (and hopefully final) round.  I ended up having to add a big scene to the end of the story and a large section to the beginning, both of which should collectively fix the last of the continuity issues the editor pointed out.  I'm really hoping the third round of edits will only be line edits, ie. grammar, spelling, and sentence structure, as those edits are much faster and require much less work.  I should see Butterfly again in approximately a month or so. 

I have also received the edits for Heartbeat.  Since Heartbeat is a reprint of an old story and has therefore already gone through the editing process once, it only really needs line edits.  I have been working on Heartbeat a lot these past few weeks and now all that's left are two very small sections that should be a fairly straightforward fix.  Overall, the story will not have changed much, so if you have the old version, don't feel like you need to purchase it again. 

The second round of edits for The Coup and the Prince have also arrived.  I have been dreading these, but they're a necessary evil.  I've glanced through them once and I can tell you they're not going to be fun, but hopefully they won't be nearly as draining as last time.  I can also tell you that it's going to be worth it.  I can't wait for it to be done and in your hands.
