Typo Alert, from Gin:
One hour after releasing my first book, Delay, Don’t Deny, I received a message from a reader that she had discovered a typo. In the introduction. Oops.  So far, my second book has fared better, with only one typo found to date. On pg. 134, the word “medication” should actually read “meditation.”
