An idiosyncratic response to romantic overtures

[sigma7]

Author Susan Andersen has a reader advisory.

I wanted to give you all a head's up on a killer typo in my digital edition of Baby, I'm Yours and apologize for page 293, where it says:

He stiffened for a moment but then she felt his muscles loosen as he shitted on the ground.

Shifted--he SHIFTED! God, I am so appalled, not to mention horrified that anyone would think that's what I wrote. I'd really appreciate it if you would forward this to your romance reading friends just in case they bought the ebook, which is on sale for $2.99 at the moment so has likely been selling even better than usual (trust me, usually that's a good thing). Please assure them that I'm on it and it will be fixed asap.

I found "writing" in place of "writhing" and "steam" in place of "stream" in my last go-through on my manuscript. "Shitted on the ground" is actually quite fitting for the context. Muscles loosening, and all that.

Frankly, "shifted on the ground" is pretty clunky prose anyway. The whole sentence needs work...it's within spitting distance of "He noticed the ship slowing imperceptibly."

LOL. That is all.
