Call for beta readers

By -
I started a new fiction novel, Write to Dead, in November for NaNoWriMo, and am nearly finished with Living a Paranormal Life: Experiences with the Other Side. In addition, I began a new manuscript last night.

I'm looking for 15 beta readers – 5 for each book manuscript. I'm only taking 15, so once those spots are taken, I'll close it off.

For those who don't know, beta readers are a book's pre-readers. Beta readers give feedback so the author can make changes before the book is published. Need more info? If you're chosen as a beta reader I'll send you info and links so you can better understand what's expected.

If you decide to be a beta reader for me, you must agree not to discuss or share details (either in writing or verbally) about what you've read until the book is published.

Please comment below if you are interested and I will choose 15 of you, randomly, as beta readers. Part of those interested will be assigned Write to Dead, others will be assigned to SSWP (Super-Secret Writing Project), and the final 5 will be selected as readers for Living a Paranormal Life.

I will decide which project I think you'll fit best with, so just comment with "Beta reader" or e-mail me, but don't mention which book manuscript you'd prefer. I'll select those ;-)

Thanks in advance!

[Quote] Haruki Murakami

By -
I adore how Haruki Murakami writes. This is a long quote, but reading it is well worth it: “Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step. There’s no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That’s the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine. And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mi...
