I too have enjoyed working with you. It is almost difficult to believe that we had better communication without face-to-face; you are so thorough - I can't brag enough about your thoroughness and in spite of all of my rambling instructions. You were able to keep true to the message...<br /><br />I haven't thought too much about the name changes for the officers/detectives. I am unsure how to leave David Haynes name and his testimony about same last name without giving away Detective Haynes identity?&nbsp;<br /><br />I haven't received any communication back from Jordan so - we will go with a pseudonym for Jordan - and I have not thought about a name for him either.<br /><br />I am perfectly content with leaving Edward's name(s) and his father's and mother's (I believe she is mentioned once in this small piece headed your way) throughout the book the way you have it - it works out perfect.<br /><br />Also, apparently, the only testimony I have in regards to the competency trial is a repeat of the psychologist and psychiatrist testimony (they repeated almost verbatim what was said in the competency trial at the punishment phase of the main trial. I do however remember exactly why the judge declared him competent and so I may just go ahead and type that and add it on really quickly and place the add on piece after the competency trial part - that woud be perfect.<br /><br />I did transcribe the firearm expert's testimony but aside from the gun being exotic - the testimony is somewhat boring. It is about 850 words in addition to the 3400.<br /><br />I can do 2 or 3 day comfortably. I don't want to make tight deadlines but rather give you the time needed to comfortably replace the names and piece the book together. I did go back and print out (unedited) my last submission with the edited initial submission together. There is a flow leaving the chapters in pretty much the same order. When I move the "GUN" chapter much further down there are events that are out of sync and there is quite a bit that would need to be re-written. I probably over analyzed.<br /><br />That being said, the only question I have left, is once I submit this last piece and receive the final editing back from you, the material is pretty well in traditional book publishing format; correct? Save for page breaks at the ends of chapters and ensuring each new chapter begins on the right page first...<br /><br />Thank you for your professionalism and invaluable expertise - the book wouldn't be anywhere near the completion process that it is if not for your experience and guidance.<br /><br />Admirably,<br /><br />Barbara Chevalier<br /><br />P.S. Your preference, 2 or 3 day editing?<br /><br /><br />
