Mania Summary Change
I changed the summary of Mania after I read a review and saw that I was giving readers the wrong impression.
I've always known that I'm piss-poor at writing summaries. To me, writing the summary is the hardest part about writing a book.
It isn't easy for me to take a 100,000 word book and condense it down to less than 1% of its length while making sure that I'm not spoiling anything.
I tried following a guide to writing summaries that I found, but I ended up with a summary that made it seem like an unrequited romance between Cheza and Cole was the focal point of the second book when that's not the case. The romance isn't unrequited in the second book and it's still a subplot to the series.
I hope that reader gives the second book a chance because they will be rather lost if they read the third book while skipping the second.
In the mean time, I'll work on creating summaries that are more effective while preparing the third book for publishing and while writing the fifth.
Oh, and I released a second edition of Mania and will be releasing a second addition of Unexpected. The content will be the same even though the word counts will be higher because I'm correcting a formatting error that had lowered the counts.
