As I mentioned previously, refreshed versions of the current novels (volumes 1–4 at time of writing) will be released soon. The plan is to release them all together for both the Kindle and paperback editions.

Books 2–4 will only be getting minor tweaks and corrections — nothing major needs changing. The files for the paperbacks, Kindle individual titles, and Kindle boxed set versions will be getting a hard reset to the "master version" of their respective texts (I've noticed slight discrepancies between the editions, thanks to a sloppy workflow.) The rear covers of the paperbacks will also be tweaked to make them look a bit more professional.

However Steal from the Devil has had a massive overhaul. I consider this the fourth edition, and some of you won't like this but there's... like... more material. I know, I know, I thought I was making tweaks and I guess I just got carried away. What I can say is that the longest new passages have all been character-based additions with the exception of the climax which gets some more action.

I will make sure Amazon KDP pushes the refreshed SFTD as a free update to Kindle customers. For paperback customers, you'll have three options:

1. Buy a new paperback (don't worry, it'll be the same size and cover style as the current one).
2. Ignore the changes — no plot has been altered so nothing that follows on from SFTD is affected.

So what has changed in Steal from the Devil? Here are some examples:

• The entire first chapter (intro to Hammer, Santani, and Caden) has now been restructured to reduce the choppiness of it all.
• Chapters 18 and 19 were swapped for pacing reasons.
• The super-long chapter 20 was split into two, creating Chp. 20 "Hammerfall" and Chp. 21 "Light the Dark".
• The order of scenes in the last three chapters has been rearranged to improve the flow of action and make the pacing far better.
• The climactic confrontation is no longer just a case of finding Morlum, having a quick chat, then shooting something real quick. A lot more is said, the tension is raised considerably, and a lot more actually happens.
• Maber Castigon is fleshed out slightly more, and we get to read a little about the way he sees the world.
• Euryce Eilentes is also fleshed out more, and we learn things which preface her arc in the later books.
• Bruiser has been given a bit more of a role, seeing as we all love him so. 
• Some very sneaky foreshadowing has been made more obvious.
• Mobile Air and Ground Assault (MAGA) has been changed to Conventional Air and Ground Assault (CAGA), as it will now be known across all books and supporting materials.
• "Skinprint" is now written as "skin-print", to aid people whose first language is not English. I mean they deserve some chance, right?
• Significant numbers of tweaks and edits to sentence structure, grammar, etc.
• Improved typography and punctuation has been modernised.

Some improvements have hit the site over the past week... some major, some just tweaks:

1. All main and secondary human characters now have images.
2. Some of the character images are now used as the header images for the respective pages.
3. A page was added for the planet Damastion, and one was also added for Eyes and Ears. Links have been updated accordingly throughout the site.
4. Pages were added for the characters Captain Orri Hekekia, and Master-at-Arms Willon Panovar.
5. A new section titled 'Adversity' was added to the profile pages for Elm Caden, Rendir Throam, and Euryce Eilentes.

Regular visitors might have noticed that the previously mentioned character pictures have been undergoing rapid and iterative improvements. They're now available for all human main and secondary characters, and higher resolution images are replacing the pictures which were first uploaded.

The current Armada Wars protagonist Elm Caden has been featured in the "Character Focus" series on Brittany M. Willows' writing blog. You can read the full article here.

Entries in Brittany's series each feature a single character from a specific author, and they appear every Monday.

Some changes and improvements have been made to the site in the past day. As well as various layout and formatting tweaks, the following changes were made:
​

• The Imperial Combine page was moved under the Universe section.
• A new Imperial Starships page was added. This and the Many Worlds page were both moved under the Imperial Combine page.
• The 'Major Powers' page was merged with the Imperial Combine page to make a new Universe category named Societies. The Mastalekt species was added.
• Individual pages have been added to the Main Characters section for Elm Caden, Rendir Throam, and Euryce Eilentes.
• Many pages (including books, news, and features) have had links inserted for the new Universe content.
• The top menu has been rearranged to make the most popular sections easier to see.
• The About page was rejigged to make it more digestible.
