The Killing Zone

With the professional edits of 'Montana Harvest' and 'Mystery at Little Bitterroot' completed and both novels ready for publishing, I will begin completing the suggested professional edit on 'The Killing Zone.' This novel, the third in the series, currently stands at 104,180 words encompassing 400 pages. Again, like the first two novels, the size of this novel will be whittled down to a manageable level without sacrificing plot or style. What will go will be scenes, dialogue, and prose that either does nothing for the story, slows the action down, or is redundant. The professional edit will result in a tighter and more dramatic novel.
