Shadows Past by Lorna Freeman

Tick, tock, tick tock. Just read on Lorna Freeman's blog that some lucky reader in Pensacola was able to buy a copy of Shadows Past before its official release date of February 2. Of course, I immediately checked my local B&Ns and Borders stores, but the book isn't available yet. Dang!

I did check Ebay. Ebay has an ARC for sale. The photo clearly shows the cover page, including the heading, "Uncorrected Proofs for Limited Distribution. NOT FOR SALE"

On general principles, I disapprove of ARC owners selling their copies because the authors don't benefit financially from their own work. (Although I cherish the two ARCs of Ilona Andrews' work I was fortunate enough to review, I also bought the final versions as soon as they hit the shelves.)

Quote du jour: "No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft." H.G. Wells, (1866-1946). I searched online briefly, but couldn't find a specific reference.

"There is no urge so great as for one man to edit another man's work."
Mark Twain. (1835–1910). (This quote is attributed to Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but I checked http://www.online-literature.com/authorsearch.php and http://www.twainquotes.com/, but couldn't find a specific reference.)
