Re: New Cadet Kellogg Reporting

I want to apologize front for the bad editing on the first two books. I cannot spell or proofread. I bought two very expensive editing software packages...they both sucked. The end result is a book that is hard to read but a story that seems to be well liked. They both keep selling and I can only assume that it is in spite of the writing and editing. It is a whale of a yarn based on actual historical facts and possibilities despite some reviewers who lack the historical knowledge needed.nelmsm wrote:Welcome Cadet Kellog! Don't believe everything General Danner tells you, he tends to speak in half truths. Now if you'll just buy me a drink I'll be happy to tell you about the time I fought off an entire company of Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry while only armed with a butter knife and mounted on a donkey. Yes, you may have to buy several drinks as my throat is rather parched and I'd hate for it to get all scratchy while telling of that incredible engagement.
On a more serious note I love to read alternate history so I went out and picked up the first book in your series. Looks intriguing.
For the third book I found a good editor and she has helped me improve my copy tremendously.
Bottomline is that you should hang in there and enjoy the story and try and ignore the typos.
Also be aware that it is not clear who will win in the end and if the possibility of a US defeat bothers you, then be prepared. You will note that the vast majority of the one star reviews complain about this possibility. I personally enjoy a nail biter with numerous twists and turns.
A few questions if I may. I cannot seem to be able to search the forums. Does this occur later in my journey through the ranks?
I cannot seem to get my signature to show the image I selected. Is there a process different from other forums? I tried once again below and as far as I can tell it doesn't work.
Thank you in advance.
