Wow…I find your analysis strangely exact on the editing issues, etc. I just gave up reading the last third of the book exactly because the writing progressively worsened. I am glad to hear about the re-release. I’ll keep a lookout for it and maybe give it another try to see how the story ends. Have a nice holiday season.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-49250943175925458562011-12-21T13:08:09.108-05:002011-12-21T13:08:09.108-05:00Hi Jennifer, welcome to the free-range insane asyl...Hi Jennifer, welcome to the free-range insane asylum!<br /><br />I liked the story itself, but the editing really broke down in the last third of the book. It was like the first third was nice & tight, the middle saw issues creeping in & the end just blew sky-high.<br /><br />I mentioned it to Angela; she said they were planning to edit & re-release this month but I haven't seen a revision notice yet. But there's still a few days left…Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-56003432880499348312011-12-21T01:10:50.109-05:002011-12-21T01:10:50.109-05:00Unfortunately, Skeleton Lake was terrible.

This book needs serious revision and very heavy editing. It's a shame because the premise had promise, but the poor writing just wears the reader down.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-11503540338550054282011-10-28T17:36:15.670-04:002011-10-28T17:36:15.670-04:00Of course, I will be back.

...Hi Kiri, welcome to the free-range insane asylum!<br /><br />Yes, I do plan to review both books since I do have them on my Kindle. If all goes well, I'll post a review of some other (horror and non-horror) books here on the blog this weekend — here's hoping you'll come back.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-11567895700534243422011-10-27T23:03:32.779-04:002011-10-27T23:03:32.779-04:00I am glad that you're helping to highlight som...I am glad that you're helping to highlight some of the good indie stories out there.
