Editing

FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH(S)

Special thanks to Sheila van den Heuvel–for her time, wisdom and patience, which she always gives freely.  Without her guidance, this novel wouldn’t have happened.

–R.M. Ridley, Tomorrow Wendell

I found it very useful and easy to appreciate the comments relating to specific issues.  I was embarrassed, but appreciated, the grammar fixes.  I hate not having caught those myself.

–Cai Guise-Richardson

Thanks for your careful and through proof reading. You did a good work. Really appreciated.
