My clone-sibling says that I should get business cards made with Mercenary Proofreader under my name…
I write primarily science fiction and fantasy, and I often merge the two. This isn’t because I don’t know the difference, but because I enjoy the play of contrasts and because I disagree strongly with some of the “rules” concerning where the dividing line is. To quote one of my favorite authors (Roger Zelazny) from an essay he wrote about why he blurred the line between science fiction and fantasy, _“I write that way because I must, because the part of me that wishes to remain honest while telling the calculated lies of fiction feels obligated to indicate in this manner that I do not know everything and that my ignorance, t…

_Midsummer Night, and all the world awake_..., thought Laurel. The city-wide revelry was winding down somewhat; now came the long wait until morning. In the great hall of the castle, everyone had pulled benches into a circle for the storytelling and singing. An elderly wizard from the Enclave recited an epic poem about the Coldmetal War, as she did every year. And Raven left the room until she was finished, as he did every year. Now it was Doran's turn, and he began by telling about the last ...

Kel jumped down from the wall when she heard the car coming up the gravel road. Summer sunlight flashed off its windows, and the hum of its hover-jets harmonized with the chorus of cicadas and bumblebees in the snowball bush. The car pulled into the yard and settled beside her father's old truck. The door opened. "Uncle Edan!" Kel ran across the yard and threw her arms around the man almost before he was out of the car. He returned the hug, laughing. "Easy, girl. Have pity on an old man." She...

I slept in someone’s tool shed on a pile of canvas sacking, that first night after I made my escape. I didn’t think I was entirely safe, but… safe enough, surely. They would have no way of knowing which Door I’d gone through, or even that I was missing, until it was too late. That was what I told myself, anyway. I was awake well before dawn, anxious to get more miles between myself and the place where a Door opened into that world. Just in case. I left town and road behind and set off across ...

I’m a finder, and I’m damn good at my job. Maybe too good. A lot of people, especially Terrans, think that finding uses some kind of psi talent. Don’t believe it. There _are_ people, clairvoyants mostly, who have a talent for locating things, but finding is more… Well, call it a knack for combining diverse knowledge in odd and unexpected ways. And maybe you figure finding for an exciting line, but that isn’t always so. Often it’s just tracking a specific piece of info, or locating some object...

This looks like it was copied from an encyclopedia entry. It contains only dry facts without any particular context. Why is the author stating these facts about Khartoum? It also isn't interesting as it is; perhaps more information, especially with some personal views on the place, would help with that. If you are going to use parentheses within parentheses, you need to make sure you close _both_ sets; you have closed only one after "etymology".
" out of proportion lap-dog" - hyphenate "out-of-proportion" - "lapdog" is one word comma after "As I walked past" period, not comma, after "their farewells" comma after "your walk" comma before "and the other replied" comma after "bearable voice" comma after "nice day" "epidsode of Oprah" - italicize "_Oprah_" "‘I used to have..." - you have a single quotation mark on one end and a double on the other comma after "with the receptionist" comma after "much of a problem" "a state godforsaken co...
