Adult - Historical Fiction Revised editions - editor woes

I jumped in too fast on my first editions after my editor passed away from cancer.

My next editor disappeared with my book threatening to take ownership because it was not published.

I never did publish that book but over the next seven years, wrote three new books.

Well, needless to say, I found out just how much work editing really is. I revised my published books, polished to a fine shine, and they are now available on kindle.

Feeling proud that I found my own editing skills.

I am really sorry it happened to you. Some people pray on others unfortunately. I wish you good luck and to find a decent very good editor. I have never used editors, I didn´t have money to edit my book, but I cannot sell it due to marketing issues rather than the "not been edited" problem.
