As you read this I am having a large slice of humble pie because of all the errors in my latest release, SHAD, Book 7 of the Guns for Hire series. When I published the book, I had no idea the file was corrupted by failing software. Hero had always kept my computer working efficiently. He was such a brilliant man and supportive of my writing. But, that horrible disease Parkinson's had been taking away his memory for longer than my daughters and I realized. Sure enough, the ancient version of Word I had been using deteriorated. I unpublished the book when I learned of all the mistakes it contained.
Fortunately, Darling Daughter 1 installed the latest software for Word, and that is what I'll be using to correct the file for SHAD. When the corrections have been made and thoroughly edited, I will relaunch SHAD.
Please accept my sincere apology for this occurrence. The illness, terrible decline, and passing of my beloved Hero have kept me unable to focus as I drift through days locked in grief. Those of you who have lost a cherished spouse will understand. I've known Hero since I was twelve, though of course I did not date him until years later. Ours was a long and happy marriage, and I'm grateful for the years we shared.
Don't let my experience with SHAD keep you from reading all the wonderful books in this series. Three books are still to be released. Two are up for preorder.
Thanks for stopping by.

I am just so sorry, Caroline. I don't have any advice. I'm forever different now. It will be eight years this December that I have drifted in the grief sea. Some days the waters are relatively calm and I function a little bit. Other days, the waters climb to skyscraper heights and the troughs are deep, and I can't get out of bed. There is no land. I just drift and am battered by the unrelenting Grief Sea.
I'm sorry this happened. I'm hoping you have more good days coming your way. Be blessed.
