“I discovered Elizabeth online, and I am ever happy I did! Elizabeth is a critical thinker and has a vast knowledge of genre structures and expectations. In her developmental edit report on my manuscript, she went over both the strengths she saw as well as areas for improvement, and made specific suggestions for how I could tighten up my writing. I appreciated her honesty. After I read her report, she responded to my questions and supported me beyond the publishing of my book. The whole process went smoothly, and I plan to employ her for my next book.” – Melissa D. MacKinnon

“I will always get editorial help from Elizabeth, not only because of her help in improving my writing but also for her encouragement. With her clear and perceptive feedback, my story became simpler. It became tighter. It became much better than what I had thought was a final draft. I feel lucky I chose to work with Elizabeth. From now on, I won’t ever consider a book finished until I have gotten Elizabeth to look it over.” — Scott McDonald

What follows is a fast-paced adventure where near-future sci-fi/tech bleeds into reality as Peter goes down a rabbit hole that has him questioning his sanity.
