My New Beta Reader

So since my post a couple weeks ago about looking for beta readers, and after exploring Nathan Bransford's forums, I was fortunate enough to meet up with the perfect critique partner. And she is perfect. No you can't have her. She's my own, my precious (sorry Mes, Gollum slipped out there).

She's an intense line editor and just what I needed for my final overhaul of Bond of Darkness. Line edits are a bitch and so is she, and I mean that in the most gracious and thankful way possible. Those were her exact words to me. "Don't think I'm a bitch, but I crack down on line edits." I squealed with joy when she told me that.

So here's to you, Mesmerix! I hope we both have a long and successful beta read together for BoD and GEM, and more after. Thanks for everything so far.

Bye for now,

Here, Beta Beta

So I am going to be looking for some Beta readers in the near future for my manuscript. I am currently in the back stretch of my chapter edits, and am looking for some dedicated readers who wouldn't mind taking a read. I will start with a few chapters at a time since the full MS will round out at about 115k words.

If you care to volunteer, I can begin making a list. Be sure to follow me so I can readily reach you if the need arises.

Thanks a bunch.
