Llewellyn<\/p>\n<p>Some months ago I received an alert in my inbox that I was under discussion on Goodreads. There is a whole A.J. Llewellyn thread (who knew?). I guess there is for every author, but the old adage proved true. Eavesdroppers never hear good about themselves. While most were complimentary, one reader, Cori, commented that she loved my &#8220;Honeybone&#8221; books but would have given me higher marks had it not been for the typos.<br \/>\nTypos, bloody typos.<br \/>\nI make plenty of them because I type fast and I just don&#8217;t notice them.<br \/>\nBig Oops. Big frustration.<br \/>\nCori and I exchanged very cordial messages on the loop and I took the blame for the typos because I often submit books very close to deadline. I can&#8217;t blame my editors. I get a chance to re-read things.<br \/>\nAgain&#8230;I just don&#8217;t see &#8217;em!<br \/>\nShe offered to beta read for me and she has read a couple of books now and found some typos.<br \/>\nTypos, bloody typos.<br \/>\nI have a wonderful, dear friend in a fellow author who kindly reads everything D.J. Manly and I write, and frankly my dear, I always think when something has gone through a Final Line Edit it should be good to go, but no&#8230;..<br \/>\nTypos, bloody typos.<br \/>\nSomehow, they manage to sneak their way into my manuscripts. I swear, there is a typo fairy out there &#8211; somewhere &#8211; and she&#8217;s got it in for me. She hates me!<br \/>\nWhat about you? Do you make typos? What was your worst? Do you notice them? What&#8217;s the worst you&#8217;ve seen?<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve made too many to single out one.<br \/>\nTypos, bloody typos. I attract them like lint.<\/p>\n<p>Aloha oe,<\/p>\n<p>A.J.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By A.J.
