The attached photos offer glimpses of our courtyard bench and entry to my wife’s art studio. They are simple items that put me in a good mood. It’s important to smell the roses on our life journeys, right? These are some of my Sonoran Desert roses!
I am pleased with the number of paperback and hardcover pre-orders of The Emerald Cross, my second novel that officially launches July 14. My fingers are crossed that the momentum continues.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THOSE WHO PRE-ORDERED The Emerald Cross before June 20:
A few pre-order hardcover and paperback copies of The Emerald Cross may arrive at retailers or your home with an incorrect print version. It is a problem I inadvertently created that thankfully affects less than 15 copies, but it’s crucial to me that everyone reads the final version of the book. Here is a simple way to determine if your pre-order is a correct version. If these two edits read as correct (they are two of the 36 from my final pass, and range from minimal to more important), you have the correct final version.
- Page 9, first paragraph:
Wrong: “Authorities awaited contact from La Buena Familia soon.”
Correct: “Authorities awaited contact from La Buena Familia.” - Page 55, 4th paragraph:
Wrong: Brooklyn said,
Correct: Brooke said,
And finally! If you are one of the few who received the incorrect version, please let your dog eat it and email me at authorkencruickshank@gmail.com. I want to send you a signed copy at my cost. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope you enjoy The Emerald Cross!
Cheers from Orange County, California,
Ken Cruickshank
