    Dear Mr. Moeller,

    I have just read, and enjoyed, both the first three Ghost books and The Testing; I plan to continue both series and then begin Demonsouled.

    I am not surprised that there are a number of typos/word omissions, as I understand the difficulties faced by an “indie” author who doesn’t have the advantages given by a publishing house with staff copy editors or proof readers. Indeed, there are many fewer such errors in your books than in those of most independent authors.

    I do have one bone to pick, however (and don’t mind if this letter, or perhaps this paragraph, doesn’t make it to your website). In one place in The Testing and in multiple places in the first three Ghost books, you speak of people being ‘hung’, as in “The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…”. When people are executed, they are ‘hanged’, as in “you will be hanged by the neck until dead…”. Every time I read of someone being ‘hung’, I had to pause to make sure I had the correct sense (from the context), which interrupted the flow of your narrative. I realize that it’s a word frequently misused, and one that perhaps most readers will never notice. For those of us who do, however, your using the verb “to hang” (a person), vice “to hang” (an object) would be greatly appreciated, and would make your books that much more professional. [An admission: before becoming a priest some 25 years ago, I was a newspaper editor... and not only that, my father is a grammatically picky English professor.]

    Thank you for your work!
    Fr. Francis+

      Thanks for the kind words about the books! I’m glad you liked them.

      Concerning the typos, it’s been a consistent headache for a while. In writing, I’ve essentially been working in a vacuum for years, but I’ve gradually been able to hire some people to help me. So the typo situation should get better soon, one hopes.

      -JM
