*clears throat*

So, I posted this weekend, and then accidentally put my post under private. It's now friends-locked here.

And after all that happened, I went to Cassis on Friday, which was fabulous - Cassis looks like every little Mediterranean town you see in the movies, and I spent the day lying on the beach reading.

It was beyond heavenly.

*Groans* But yeah, I've caught typos in books before. It always makes me feel so skilled, especially since I suck at it in general.

I've caught one or two typos in my day (then again, I don't read as much as most) but geeeeeez....the Dresden novels are BAD!

Copy editor was clearly snorting glue that day?

Someone was.... I finished Grave Peril last night. And part of me wants to go back to the first book and check something... I swear, the name of a character actually changed in the middle of the third book. (She was in the first book, then mentioned again early in the third...when she came back in toward the end, I swear that wasn't her name.)

Apart from the standard typos and sentences that don't read correctly or are really bad fragments, etc, etc. I mean, as writers, we all do it. But that's what professional editors are for. And hell, what are they paying this guy for??

Oh, that does sound bad.

I'm imagining my mother readint this - dear god she's have SUCH things to say about the editor.

And apparently, they're paying him for nothing. Goddamn I want that job.

Yeah really...

Remind me (if you remember...)

In the first book, after Dresden really pisses off Bianca... Wasn't the name of her assistant that she starts feeding on (and ultimately devours completely) Paula?

Because Paula gets mentioned again during the masquerade....and then the ghost that shows up later, that was supposedly the assistant is named Rachel.... Was it just because I was sick and missed something or did the editor totally miss that one?

Sweetie, I has been so long I'm lucky I remember the names of the main characters. However, when I reread so I can discuss this with you fresh, I will keep an eye out for that.

Yeah, I didn't figure you'd remember, given she was so obscure.

Jim hardly remembered most of the book (though I didn't ask him about the Paula thing....I wonder if Nate might remember though....)
