The term "advance reading" is used in some form by nearly every book publishing company, but it often has different meanings so we thought a clarification was in order. Because Focus House Publishing is so appreciative of the fans who read our books, we take promotion drafts that used to be circulated only between editors, authors, and early reviewers and now make them available to our readers. These advance works (sometimes known as pre-galley, story drafts, or pre-release editions) are full printed or e-book versions of the author's intended final book but a version that has not yet been through the final editing process. 

     In short, we hope you enjoy these very collectible editions. However, if you think typos, moderate story inconsistencies, or later story changes might bother you, you might want to avoid these early versions. For the rest of you, however, we hope you enjoy these "sneak-peek" editions. You could even support your favorite author by buying several versions of every title!
