Divine Tempest "I interviewed probably 15+ other editors. Their prices varied quite radically—one even offered to do it for free—but I thought the ridiculously massive amount of pure quality in Deanna’s sample far outweighed price differences. Post-editing, advance-reader comments have included: ‘It is dramatically different. Now it's a book!’; ‘It reads really smooth.’; ‘The writing is great....’; ‘I am about halfway through, and I want to read the next one.’; ‘I stayed up reading it all night...on my cell phone.’ From early reviews on Amazon: 'I was engaged from first page to last.'; 'Fast and exciting read.'; 'I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for his next one to come out.'" – Herrick Erickson-Brigl, A Scholar's Journey: The Divine Tempest (Book One)
