Back in February, I jumped the gun. I released my first novel, Never Saw It Coming
without a proper editorial pass. It contained numerous typos and, to be quite honest, boneheaded mistakes.
Once I realized this, I was A: extremely embarassed, B: consumed with guilt for not selling my readers the best possible work.
Despite those mistakes, the book holds a solid 4.1 star rating here on Amazon (16 Reviews). Actually, the most common complaint in those reviews were, in fact, the rather glaring errors within the book. So I held off on marketing, while I corrected those mistakes and errors. Four editorial passes (Thanks to Diane, Matt and Charlie) and a new cover later (Courtesy of Andrew Ballard), the Second Edition of Never Saw It Coming went live.

If you want one just shoot me an email at jordan.nonotthatone.mike@gmail.com or visit my blog at http://moderatelyprofane.blogspot.com/ and let me know where to send it.
Unfortunately, I will only be able to provide a gift copy to the first 10 interested parties, if you miss out, please, download the sample and see if it is to your liking.
Thank you for your time,
Mike Jordan
Author's Note: This book, were it a movie, would be rated "R" it contains strong language, graphic violence, sexual situations, and the senseless murder of a bucket of chicken.
A quick note for those of you that purchased the previous version from Amazon-- to get the updated edition you'll just have email kdp-support@amazon.com with the book's ASIN number: B004MYFO4M and let them know you'd like your version replaced withthe most recent.
