Great question, thanks for asking. There’s always room for improvement in my writing and The Hubley Case has no shortage of answers from which to choose. But the example that immediately comes to mind was actually brought to my attention by a fan. The fact is, there’s no such thing as an “ex-Marine” to a Marine. Once you dedicate yourself to that greater cause, you’re a Marine for life. Period. The fact that Ben (in a few instances) refers to himself as an ex-marine is both inaccurate and something I wish I could change every time I read it.
To that fan (and any others who may have caught it/been bothered by it) – rest assured, the word “ex” doesn’t exist in The Silent Cardinal or any other book I am writing.
