And&#8230;I did. Even my UF Zombie story, The Reburialists, is now mine to do what I want with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what do I want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to make them better. Free Agent doesn&#8217;t match my standards anymore. Marissa is occasionally cruel and downright mean in a few cases, and it&#8217;s often unclear what experiences drive that. Nothing is ever explained. There&#8217;s not nearly enough description. It&#8217;s the sort of book I would write eight years ago, but not up to what I write now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So&#8230;there will be a revision and a re-release.  The meat of the story won&#8217;t change. If you remember the plot, there won&#8217;t be a huge difference there. The motivations? The descriptions? All of those will be re-considered sentence by sentence, to give clarity. To reshape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there&#8217;s a few things I won&#8217;t be tolerating. They&#8217;ll be out-and-out changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let the re-writing begin. First up will be all three Grimm Agency books and Soul Ink, along with the Christmas short &#8220;Special Delivery.&#8221; Then I&#8217;ll turn the same way on The Reburialists. Happy Holidays to all of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I&#8217;ve been damn near silent for quite a long while, because I&#8217;ve been waiting to get the rights to my Grimm Agency series back.&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/?p=440\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Rights Returned<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=440"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":441,"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440\/revisions\/441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorjcnelson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
