RE Typo: "John" instead of "Joseph"
"One typo in The Devil Colony has generated a few comments, so I thought I should address it here. Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon religion, is mentioned almost 20 times in the book, but 3 times I accidentally typed in "John" instead of "Joseph". This was called out to be corrected during copyedits but somehow never got corrected in the final draft. Normally such errors are corrected for the paperback edition, but in this case Harpercollins will be correcting this in the next hardback printing. So these "mistaken" first editions will be that much more valuable [grin]...okay maybe not. Sorry about that error, folks!" — Jim
