I ordered proof copies of my paperbacks through Draft 2 Digital for book 1 of Rift Bloodlines and Ernie’s collection. They look pretty cool I think. The font is too small, so I will defiantly need to get a new proof, but having these both in hand feels amazing. I should get the Proof edit …
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working to get all my Ernie Smith stories combined into one book. I’m still working on the blurb for this book, but these are the stories that will be in this book: Editing these has been interesting. First and foremost of which is that I realised I’d dropped …
