ARC Requests from Fellow Authors

Hi, everybody! If you’d like me to review the advance copy of your novel and provide feedback/review before publication, let me know. I prefer reading literary fiction, especially historical, fantasy, and romance. I'm not a good fit for chick lit, horror, murder mystery, and sci-fi. (And nothing that portrays abuse to animals!)
