Holy Hannah (and bad editing) (Patreon)

I was going to do the prompt asking about Wolf (the sentient ship) from the Tap-Dancing novel (earliest book in the Claimings universe).  But during my great computer crash, I lost my universe "bibles," so I needed to go back and reread to check on a few things.  HOLY SHIT. The editing on this is... it's... um...

yeah.

A few people in reviews mentioned questionable editing, but this is just embarrassing.  Embarrassing that I turned something in with this many mistakes and even more embarrassing that these mistakes got through editing and proofreading at a publisher. Yikes.  Anyway, I don't have a cover for the first book, so I thought this was a good time to look at covers while rereading this and trying to fix the plethora of mistakes.  Good lord... missing commas, extra commas, "try and," adverb abuse, homonyms (read/red).  Hell, the editor had put a smiley face in there and I hadn't caught it, so I'm assuming the published version has a fucking smiley face in it unless someone caught that after the publisher sent me the last set of edits.  So very, very bad.  

What do you think of the covers for a military-based science fiction (with some hot and heavy on-page sex)

I’m so excited that Tapdancing is coming back, and can’t wait to read Waltzing! I loved the story and always wanted to know what happened next. As for the covers, I love them! I don’t think you need to add a sexy element. You write plots with a little bit of sex, not sex with a little bit of plot, and that’s reflected here. It appeals to the kind of reader who will appreciate just that.

It’s been a long time for Tapdancing, but I’m really starting to feel the love. Despite some bad reviews, I love Tank and his dysfunctional mental health. he’s survived a lot, and I like exploring just how screwed up teens would be if they had to carry the weight of saving the world.

Yes, I love Tank too! And you know, I always loved Buffy but you made me see the series, and others like it, in a whole new light when you pointed out how messed up the adults act in those series!

I get that teens as saviors of the world is a common trope, but I think most would be more like Aang version one (Last Airbender). When told he has to save the world, he runs away. That feels far more realistic.
