Howdy hey Snickerdoodle!

(I hope got my title reference cause I think it's extremely witty!)

Also, I've been saying 'howdy hey' to the FTR on A Secret Service and I have no idea where it came from! It's weird, I'm not a cowboy and I don't even think cowboys say that so it's doubly weird!

Any who lets move onto the next way that I'm going to completely and utterly shock you!

I've changed the chapters!

(Just imagine instead of a log he's ripping a book in half...cause you know I've ripped up where the chapters are now...it made sense in my mind, okay!)

The chapters changed! I know, it's stunning how I can blow your mind with such a simple statement.

And when I say blow your mind, I mean blow it in the sense that you have no idea what I'm actually talking about.

So let me explain.

You know how in the original Secret Service you know that the kiss comes at chapter (spoiler alert) 42?

Yeah, well that has now changed.

I've hidden the kiss from you! (Mawhahahaha!!!) So the entire time you read this new version you'll be playing hide-and-go-seek with the kiss chapter!

It's like all the anticipation and frustration you felt the first time reading the book will be there again! Woohoo!

Now you're probably asking yourself, 'why would Joy do this? Why would she torture this way?'

The answer is super easy: I'm secretly (not-so-secretly-cause-I-say-this-a-lot) evil!

And if that's not a good enough or logical enough answer for you here's another: I wanted to make the chapters more punchy, so I shortened them.

That means where there were usually these guys *** is pretty much where I broke the chapter in two.

Let's face it, I have an addiction for short chapters and that addiction spilled over into the book!

Can you blame me for it?

Well, yeah, but I don't see that it would make a difference. What's done it done.

Honestly, I think you're going to like these new punchy chapters because they fit with who Carter is, she's punchy...get it? Cause you know...she punches people...with her fist...that's why it's punchy...I've drawn this out too long, haven't I? It's not longer funny?

(I know what you're all thinking, 'Joy, it wasn't funny to begin with so there's no reason to cry about it'. And I'm not, I did that earlier in the laundry room so ha! Jokes on you!)

So yeah, that is my short, kinda painful update about what's happening to the book!

As always for those of you who are hyperventilating and generally giving into a panic attack or rethinking all your life choices, it's still going to be the book you know and love, with some minor changes and improvements!

So till the next time I drop the proverbial bomb on you, have a great day Snickerdoodle!

One last thing, would you be interested if I did a recording of me reading the first chapter, the new improved first chapter that is?
