I've never had "beta readers" before. These are folks, usually other writers, who read your manuscript and make suggestions to improve it. I was a little nervous because I had no experience with this.

“I've always believed in spreading the gospel of good books.”
S. Evan Townsend

“All governments, even these precious “democracies,” derive all their power by force. Do something the government doesn’t want, like, say, cross the street against the light, refuse to submit to its authority, and it won’t be long before they’ll use some form of force, usually a weapon and the threat of death or injury, to compel you to comply.”
S. Evan Townsend, Hammer of Thor
