I said the whole Wicca/Sweep edit thing was partially closed, meaning that it won't be solved until I probably get the book in my hands and compare them myself.
Thanks to Rach (from Australia) for posting on the boards. I also heard the same thing from somebody else, so I will post it here.
There are supposedly THREE edits in book 14, Full Circle. I will give you one:
Chapter 15, last few paragraphs, US version:
I looked into the deep green of Hunter’s eyes moved by the intensity of the love I saw there stunned by the intensity I felt for him. Was it possible for one person to care this much about another? I felt like I couldn’t get close enough to him.
Hunter kissed me again, and legs and hands got tangle in my skirt. We were gasping in the cool night air, rolling together so that first he was on top and then I was. I loved him having him under me, being able to hold his face in my hands, to feel like what happened was up to me. Which it was.
There, on Beltane Eve, celebrations of fertility, life and love, Hunter and I made our own celebration..."
The paragraph that is in pinkish red is what is found in the US book, but NOT in the UK. So, everybody who is curious and lives in Aussie or UK break out your books to compare this. If it IS true, from several people, I will post the other two "mystery" edits.

I just want to thank everybody for sending responses to the question about the Wicca/Sweep thing. I also want to clarify something: it was considered by the UK editors to do some editing on some scenes. I said in the earlier post “going to”, which probably threw some people off.
So, I say the case is partially closed.
Anyway, this week—July 24th—is Cate Tiernan’s birthday. Yay! I already wished her a Happy B-day, but I will do it here: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
If I remember correctly, she’s finally in the “writing” process of Balefire. From the looks of it, it won’t be an easy task for her, so wish her well.

Question of the Moment--it's been a long time.
Is there a difference between Wicca [book series] and Sweep?
-S
Update: I don't mean Wicca, the religion, I mean Wicca the series by Cate Tiernan. Putnam UK renamed Sweep to Wicca in the UK.
I posted this on the Banishing Boards, but I will post it here for more exposure because I have no idea, since I don't own the UK versions. I don't think Cate Tiernan would know either.
My answer: Besides the title and covers? Unlikely. BUT...I remember a while back one of the Putnam US editors telling me that the editors at Putnam UK were going to edit the make out scene between Morgan and Hunter in Seeker. I guess because it was too "sexually explicit"?  Who knows. I never really thought about it.
So, if anything was edited, it would be all those make out scenes in the original Sweep series--which I think is pathetic. Nothing happened!
If anybody knows, help this fan (and me) out.

The Banishing Board is up. Registration is required (because of how the boards handles anon members), but the Q & A board will soon be open to non-registered users who just want ask a quick question and go.

The board is up, but I need some "testers" to make sure everything is okay. This board has been tweaked A LOT. I've checked it with several browsers and executed almost every function on the board, but I'm still not sure.
The whole "beta testing" thing is nothing special--you just get to be the first "people" to post before all others (if there IS "all others"..heh, heh, heh  ).
Anyway, go to the contact page to contact me through email. If you post in the comments, leave your email so I can email you.
