Quick question -- I notice that the eArc (ePub) seems to jump from Chapter 29 to Chapter 31. Should there be a Chapter 30?

Cancel that. A little closer review of the table of contents shows that there are two chapter 29s, with different content, followed by chapter 31. So likely the second chapter 29 actually is chapter 30.

Of course, if you would like to slip another chapter in there, I wouldn't argue :-)

Welp, that's better than I did, by a long shot. The submission copy has two chapter 21s and two chapter 24s.

Sigh. The last thing I usually do before I convert-and-save the submission copy is search on "chapter" and go through the whole manuscript to make sure the numbering is in order and that I didn't skip any numbers.

...though to be fair, all the numbers are in order, and I didn't skip one.
