Can you spot this covert typo?

Wed Mar 5 2025

Blazing Reader,

Can you spot the covert typo (in the video below) that made it past eight proofreaders? I only spotted it when recording the audio book version of my novel, Much Ado About Corona, the other day.

In this video I also show you how I make it through three hours of audio book recording without burning out. You'll also hear about a new Amazon ratings milestone. Plus, I show off the original painting for my second novel (now hanging in my writing studio).

John C. A. Manley is the author of Much Ado About Corona, All The Humans Are Sleeping and other works of philosophical fiction that are "so completely engaging that you find yourself alternately laughing, gasping, hanging on for dear life."
