A Crucible of Souls - revision
When I published A Crucible of Souls in July 2013 it was in the best shape I could manage, and I just wanted to get it out there to see if readers would like it. Now, I know a lot of you thought A Crucible of Souls was a good read (thank you for your feedback and the reviews!), but it still had a few lingering issues and there were some legitimate criticisms voiced by readers. In the long run I wanted it to stand the test of time so I decided to put it through another couple of editing passes to improve dialogue, correct any POV issues and repetition, and sharpen the language.
There were no major changes, although I added a page to a couple of scenes, including the ending which I thought was too abrupt. The new version is only 2,000 words longer, which is 6 pages.
Hopefully I’ve turned a good book into a very good book. It’s being proofread now so the new version should be available in 4-6 weeks. And there will be maps! Kindle readers will get the updated version for free, for everyone else… er… I hope you liked the original…

Very well done. Very entertaining. Looking forward to other books in the series.

Hi Mitchell,
I read your book on Kindle and was wondering how we will be able to update the book (or get the new version), as I don’t have a clue how that works. Can you maybe tell a bit more about how you think this is supposed to work?
Looking forward to your reply.

Hi David,
Once I upload the new version I’ll email Amazon. They’ll then send an email to all customers who own the book to notify them of the update and improvements made. These customers will be able to choose to opt in to receive the update through the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/manage
All the best,
Mitch
