I know how hard you work to have your facts right in your MI stories. But the Bay City bit would be like saying Canada is part of Michigan. Close but no banana. I realize I'm whining and complaining, but I don't understand the reasoning behind sending out material like this.I am so indebted to my crit partners for catching this kind of stuff. I know we all miss things, but these are major issues.Linda Glazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374683352435771715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371093961542193618.post-66511440909666765102012-02-11T21:22:19.000-05:002012-02-11T21:22:19.000-05:00Okay, here I sit sweating it out over my 1830'...Okay, here I sit sweating it out over my 1830's Erie Canal story, with three historians giving me corrections and feedback, and someone says Bay City is a suburb of Detroit?

Oh, if only you could drive from the UP to Bay City in an hour... and then Bay City was referred to as 'a suburb of Detroit'.... right after the big lake on the EAST side of the state was called 'Lake Michigan'. Yikes!! The story was wonderful and I have loved all of her books, but it really, really turned me off and I haven't read another one since.

One little thing - the wrong piece of equipment - but I guess I'm anal too because it colored my opinion of the rest of the book. I did find a few other little inconsistencies farther along in the book, but I wonder if I would have noticed them at all if that first one hadn't slapped me in the face.by Pegg Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113756304449398701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371093961542193618.post-58232550665407187632012-02-11T18:42:54.000-05:002012-02-11T18:42:54.000-05:00Good job with this post, Linda.Don't beat your...Good job with this post, Linda.<br>Don't beat yourself up for buying two and three - after all - hope springs eternal.<br>I'm sure you figured those idiot-spots would be fixed over time and as the author grew as a writer???? One can ALWAYS hope.<br>I just get frustrated reading multi-published authors who GET BY when many of us 'newbies' work hard to learn the rules - even when they change them - and still can't get past a gate-keeper for reasons other than the strength of one's writing. <br>I love your sense of humor - easier for an author to swallow meds when given with a bit of sugar water - let's just hope the author swallows this particular med.
