I’ve put this off for as long as I possibly can. And, I mean, I’ve really put this off a long time already.

It’s time to publish my first novel. It was supposed to happen last year, but life got in the way (and I let it). Now, I’m putting on my big girl trousers, getting some woolly socks for my cold feet, and facing my fears.

I have one request first. I need a couple of Beta Readers. (Beta Readers get to read the story before anyone else, and they tell the writer what works and what doesn’t – simples.) I’ve made some significant changes to the telling of the story since last year, and I am far too close to it to know if it still makes sense.

That’s where you come in.

If you’re interested in helping a writer out, let me know. My request is that you finish before Thanksgiving. It’s approximately 89,000 words, roughly 330 pages. If you’re interested, and you can read it in the allotted time, reply here, or send me a message, and I’ll get back to you right away with details.

Watch this space, it won’t be long!
