First Readers
Hello fellow readers.
It's hard to believe the holidays are almost upon us. If you are like me, you are already thinking of what you are going to be getting people for Christmas, how much turkey you need to cook for Thanksgiving, and, if you are more organized than me (which most probably are) then you may already have it all finished. My husband is always the easiest to buy for, I think he starts his Christmas list on Dec. 26th to make sure he doesn't miss anything he may want for the next year.
Anyway, this post isn't really about the holidays, although I'm ready for the family time, it's actually an update on the second book. I'm up through Chapter 9 now, and it's coming along decently well. This time around, I would like to plan a release date on Amazon Kindle, and I'd like to send out the pdf or .mobi (kindle) version to some people who would like to have a first chance at reading it and will leave me an honest review. This in no way affects the people who I have promised a first, signed copy of the book, I will still be doing that. And those people can also participate in this if they are so inclined. I'm hoping by the actual release date, I can have at least 20 reviews on it already, hopefully good reviews, but if it is not up to par, that's good to know too.
I don't really know how many chapters will be in this book, the story seems to take on a life of its own, but I know it's close to being finished. Probably three to five more chapters. So, if you are interested in receiving a free copy for an honest review, let me know. Email me at shanlynnwalker@gmail.com or fill out the contact form on my website. Or contact me via Facebook and we will work it out through there.
Thanks for all of your support, and for reading my book and, if you are reading this, my blog. Happy early holidays!
