Message from Marc L Abbott

Good Evening,

I first want to thank all of you who have supported me and my work these past seven years. The journey so far has been an eventful one.

After seven years, I have decided shut down Hobbcat Publishing Inc. It was not an easy decision to make but something I had to do. My books will still be available and my revised editions will be launched through Hobbcat LLC. Under the new company I will be broaden my work through theater and film as well as books. A new undertaking I am excited to begin.

I have learned a great deal in those seven years and I want to share that with you. Over the next few months my posts will be filled with information on self publishing, tips on being a better writer, mistakes to avoid and announcements of my new work. I look forward to your feed back and I hope that my future posts help inspire, educate and prepare you on your future endeavors as a writer.

DEAD SYNDICATE ISSUES

For those who brought the errors to my attention regarding The Dead Syndicate I want to let you know that the book was sent to an editor.

A-1 Editing Services, which I found online and hired to edit my tome, is the company that edited the manuscript. I published the final edit that was emailed to me by the editor who was supposed to do a full edit including grammar, spelling and structure. I felt it was my duty to let you all know who the editor was as you have now seen the level of work they do.

I have had another editor rework the book and I am currently working to get a proper copy put out for 2012 before the launch of Hobbcat LLC. I have pulled the book from Kindle for the time being and will be pulling the print copy as well.

I apologize for giving you a subpar product and promise that for the coming New Year, and beyond, that no more of my books will be published without proper post edit review.
