CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

I know, some of you will be thinking this book isn't new. You're right, but the EDITION is new. Long story short, when I began recording readings for my YouTube channel, I found a few things that required fixing, and that a chapter restructure was also needed. That last required a new edition, as did the  updated front and back matter. That new edition released today. Questions? Do I need to buy the 3rd edition, if I already own the second edition?

Shadow’s Rise is the first in a dark fantasy trilogy, containing strong elements of horror. It describes the rise of a group of heroes, chosen by the gods to bring down an emerging dark power. Shadow's Rise is availab le from Smashwords , Kobo , Kindle , CreateSpace and DriveThruFiction.   Chapter 1: Freedom's Price Gilzereet caught the car...
