But your point is well taken, even if the editing issue was a very minor one in my review.

I do hope I will be able to give it a more favorable review. :)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746604209969641921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339290370552855792.post-40172230123459590952008-07-31T15:17:00.000-07:002008-07-31T15:17:00.000-07:00Sorry you were so disappointed in the book.

I'd addressed similar concerns at some of the Tolkien and Lewis forums (and, uh, I'm the Guest of Honor at the next Mythcon), so I've run other people who certainly had reservations about my work. But I do appreciate the plug at the end, and hope you'll give one of the sequels a look. (Although, they probably won't be to your liking, I'm afraid - but hopefully my vocabulary has improved!)<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/><BR/>James A. OwenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
