Let's Play Where The Hell Is The Editor




"ANDREO PASCALI, cursing the day the admirable Knox had left his employ, taking retirement to make her home with her recently widowed sister in Kent, impatiently lifted the final sheet of paper, scanned it in a nanosecond and even more impatiently tossed it aside."

First sentence.

First paragraph.

And it pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the book.

There's nothing quite like starting the book with a poorly-written run-on sentence.

EDITOR, WHERE ARE YOU?

Perplexed,
Penny
