Great review! The story sounds so interesting. I like books with a sense of place, and the setting of Badland, Pennsylvania fits the bill!

Thanks, bookowlie. Badland, Pennsylvania, is definitely an interesting place. I thought the name was pretty creative for a made up one. The name of the city itself tells you what you can expect in this novel; Its never a dull moment that's for sure. As they say, it is all in the name.

I need a review request taken down. Any idea on how? The Ballad of Sidney Hill's 4th Edition is undergoing a major revision. I'm not changing up the story though. I'm fixing the errors and won't rest until they're fixed. The request I put up still has errors within it.

My fourth edition is finally revised to standard. It took months of revisions, but I went through it extensively and this is it. It is still pretty much the same plot but majority of the errors has been fixed to the teeth. This taught me a valuable lesson: spend more time revising rather than rushing and putting out messy work. All in the learning process I guess

Don't beat yourself up too much. I think the editing process is the worst part of the entire process. Most writers dread this part. I am really happy that you have finally got it the way that you want it. Congrats & Good luck! It's a great story, it will do well. But you are correct, rushing through something that means so much to you is never a great idea.

Yeah. I spent more time editing than writing, but I've learned my lesson lol. I have more work coming soon, so stay tuned.

Been some time, I've been at work, fine tuning all of it. I have submitted a review request for my third book, so that should shed light. I also have the paperback versions out if anyone wants to buy them, my sales are slowly rising, and look forward to some big things in late 2015 going into 2016 been at work with the sequel. Can't release too much info about it, but my sequel to my first book will be groundbreaking, my best work of 2015 yet. I am also requesting the updated version for The Ballad of Sidney Hill to be reviewed so, depends... It'll be some time.
