E-Book Issue (fixed 6/16)

Readers of The Midcoast e-book: if you downloaded it before 6/16, you might notice a few gaps in the text. It happens whenever a decade's mentioned ('60s, '90s, etc). Very strange, and we're not sure why it happened. They're not huge gaps in text, but you can ask your retailer to swap out the e-book if you want. Or just scroll down to find the missing text. If you downloaded the e-book on or after 6/16, you should be fine. Thanks, and sorry, everyone!

It happens on:

p. 38: “Steph Thatch?” I said, holding an intricately mechanized folding chair built in the '60s, trying to place the name. It sounded vaguely familiar. “Is she related to Ed Thatch?”

p. 82: The earliest listed event was in the early '90s and involved a big yacht called the Neptune & Mercury.

And p. 111: I should maybe point out that Chief Hunt was no longer really the chief of police in Damariscotta (or anywhere else) and hadn’t been since the late '90s when she drove her squad car into a gasoline pump. She had hit the terminal at fifteen miles an hour, hard enough to rip the hose off the pump and knock her license plate off-­kilter. She got out of the cruiser and walked into the store to buy cigarettes, which was all she wanted anyway (gas hadn’t even been a part of her plan for the evening), but her nose was bleeding. When the clerk pointed this out and expressed his concern, she said, “Fine. Never mind then. I’ll smoke something else,” and left the store. She went to her car, backed it away from the station, and drove home. If she had hit something other than a gas pump—­a tree, for example—­she probably would have gotten away with it, but the impact had incurred enough property damage to involve the service station’s insurance company, and there was surveillance tape of the whole incident. The insurance company didn’t seem to care that she was chief of police.
