title: Spilled Milk: Based on a true story
author:  K.L Randis 
description: Writing <i>Spilled Milk</i> was very emotional for me, as you canimagine. I wrote what I needed to get down on paper as fast as Icould,and re-reading each chapter to edit and proofread was painful. As a self-published and first-time author, I know now that the first edition of Spilled Milk was not in its "best form"grammatically, but I alsocouldn't bear to have a professional editor or proofreader make changesto it. It was all still too raw and personal for me. <br /><br />Severalcolleges and high schools have incorporated the novel into their lessonplans and I've received tons of feedback from my voracious fans- I knew I needed to come out with a more polished and professional edition thatwas appropriate for the education system, my fans, and in general. Thesecond edition of <i>Spilled Milk </i>(2015) has been proofread by twoamazing professionals in the industry and I am proud of the outcome. The story is exactly the same,so anyone with a first edition is not missing out on anything, but I had to accept the fact that "A writer I am, butan editor or proofreader I am not" applied to me in these circumstances. I hope that the second edition will allow <span>people to continue to enjoy <i>Spilled Milk</i> in the way it was intended. </span>Thank you all so much for your support in my journey as a writer and survivor.
