It was another interesting week.
No work on the HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE: PRIVATE BATTLES prequel novel because I got the galley proof of SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA that I have to go over for Airship 27 to make sure everything is alright before the book is published.
Received that late Monday evening so started fresh on it Tuesday morning.
One has to go over every word and punction mark, line by line from start to finish and note any mistakes there might be along the way so they can be corrected before publication.
Everything was going fine until Friday when the storm hit. 😢
Didn't regain power until Saturday afternoon.
Didn't regain the Internet (let alone cable service) until about a half hour ago.
Thankfully both THE PUZZLE CORNER and THE WEEK IN REVIEW for The Free Choice E-zine were on the Post Timer this weekend, although I didn't discover until well after the fact that I miss set the one for the news, hence it not posting until almost midnight Saturday night.
And I've still got to post this week's SUNDAY FUNNIES on TFCE when I finish here.
With everything that had to be dealt with, I'm only about halfway through the galley.
Chuck Bordell did good work on the interior illustrations for the novel again, although the galley does NOT include the cover art, so no review on that because I'll be seeing it when the book is published like everyone else.
But for that to happen, I better get back to it although considering the time, I won't be staying up much longer to night.
In any event, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and I'll see you around the Internet.
