Hello all!

Long ago Ilona Andrews did a blog post asking for Beta Readers for their magic series.

And like a ninny, I forgot to volunteer.

:-(

That mistake will haunt me for the rest of my life!

Anyway...

I'm looking for Beta Readers for my sequel book, The Burning Bush.

This job will be free.

Why?

Because I have 3 kids and law school loans!

So...

What is a Beta Reader?

A beta reader is "a person who reads a novel, with the aim of improving characterization and story prior to its release to the general public . . .
The beta reader might highlight plot holes or problems with continuity, characterization or believability."
So…
Do you need an English degree to be a Beta Reader?
Nope!

I only require two things:

1- My Beta Readers must have read Fire Baptized.

2- My Beta Readers must have the balls to say if something SUCKS or not! And why it SUCKS!

I don't need anyone to stroke my ego... I do that enough every morning when I longingly stare at my own reflection in the mirror . . . for hours. . .

(God I'm captivating!)

I should have the book back from the first set of editors by mid-may.

I would like the beta readers to have the book read in two weeks.

Anyway, if you are interested in being my Beta Reader, please comment on here or email me at wrigkenya@gmail.com with Beta Reader in the subject line!
