With the imminent addition of more venues, I thought it was as good a time as any to fix as many Things That Annoy Me as possible. These changes will roll out on StoryOrigin (for the magnets) and Amazon (for everything else) in the next few days. None of them are particularly important; I just wanted to get all my ducks in a row.
Healers:
- Took out references to “out on Amazon” in the end notes to just say “now available” or the like.
- Magnet: The “End” thing. sigh So apparently when beginning the Therapist series, I developed a habit of writing End at the end of a story. Don’t ask why; I truly don’t know. Maybe it’s a sign of my inevitable mental decline, because apparently that makes it look like a children’s book. I have purged the offending postscript from all of my work, including the Healers magnet.
Therapist
- Changed “Episode” chapter headers to “Chapter”, because the “episode” thing was a kind of whimsical experiment that never really made any sense. (Also noting that a little while ago, a couple of chapter titles in books 2 and 3 were changed because they made reference to song lyrics, which is, whoops, illegal. They are now fixed, and I should have known that.)
- Changed the title header fonts across the series. It’s still lighthearted, but a notch less goofy.
- The “End” thing.
- Fixed all the crystal texting in book 4, which had its formatting stripped – this might have been a recent shenanigan on the part of Atticus (the formatting software I use), and I certainly hope it was.
- Updated any references to “on Amazon” in end notes.
- Updated backmatter in all books to collapse the first four Therapist books into just the omnibus, so that it lists the omnibus, then 5, 6, 7, 8. (At least until the next omnibus is ready.)
Now to upload all of this.
