Hey all!

Free Clinic is going to press here in the next two weeks. If you haven't read any of it, it's out there on my blog page. The final edit has been tough, but thorough. I recommend to all of you to self edit as you write. It saves an immense amount of time and grief when your manuscript hits the editor's desk.
Also, proofreading your work is important. Misspellings, line breaks and spacing often cause major issues when it comes time to go to print.
Hit my blog for a sneak peek into the second book of the Free Clinic Trilogy: Immunity Effect. I expect to have it finished by Christmas, or perhaps sooner.

My Best,
Marco

Congrats Markand your advice is the best. Writers out there - listen to Mark. Proofread, edit and proofread again. Have someone you trust read it for spelling, grammar,etc and reread it again! I will save you time down the road.

It will also make your editor happier, and a happy editor is more likely to work better for you

I should have reread my post! You see, proofread!

Hey Folks. I hope life is treating you all well.

My second book was released on Friday. A First Christmas, Friends and Festivity. Book two of The Everlasting and Fantastical Adventures of Elannah and Sam. Available through the local Amazon and Book Expresso Machines etc.

Not only that but I have just learnt that my first book, released earlier this year, is to be used in the Cayman Islands schools as a worthwhile read. Small beginnings....

Must say that editing and proof reading are so essential. I lost count of the number of times we reviewed book two and I bet someone else still manages to find the 'deliberate mistake'.

Well congratulations Sean. You keep climbing that mountain.
