Ms. Buroker asked at the end of Hunted that if readers wanted more of The Flash Gold Chronicles then they should write a review. Well, here it is. I like the plot, I like Kali and Cedar and the writing is superior. I want more.In this novella, Kali is visited by her ex-fiance who wants her to help mine his gold claim. She refuses and throws him out but her partner Cedar wants to use the claim to spy on a nearby wanted man. So he persuades her to accept the offer. On the way to the claim the two are attacked by a mysterious stranger in a flying machine who seems to be targeting Kali. I don't want to spoil the story so I'll say no more but there are twists and turns ahead.I was reading Ms. Buroker's website today and she had an article about the advantages of self-publishing. I want to mention one of the disadvantages. And that is that a great many indie authors cannot edit worth a damn. Few things irritate me more than something an author has written, run a spellchecker over and considers it edited. It seems to me that an author cares little for their own work than if they, for instance, write the word 'waste' when they mean 'waist' and don't reread their work well enough to catch the error. Some works have a few such errors and others have an abundance of them. For me, it detracts greatly from enjoyment of the book whatever the price might be. BTW, Ms. Buroker's works do not suffer from this problem. She obviously cares about what she writes.
