I'm Savannah, I'm from Venezuela.

I love being a beta reader, I think it is a very valuable act of trust on the part of the authors to the readers.

As I was reading I imagine the Taylor Swift's video."

Lol, I remember the video you're talking about.

Thanks, Michael. I'll be starting the beta reading process from next week, so that's all good :)

Fantastic! Welcome, Emma :)

I'm 48! And I haven't grown out of it either :) Though, I tend to be more into gritty realism, but wanted to try something different. Although I've written about high school students in quite a few books, this is the first time I've based it in America. It's definitely going to have a different feel about it from my usual work, plus doing serials/episodes can be a lot of fun.

Welcome! This page is for introducing yourself. You can also say why you want to be part of the group, it's up to you.

Cool, thanks, Rochelle :) Once we get about 5 or so in the group, I'll send out the first chapter or two.

Although Lucy hates Riley Jamison's personality, she loves how he looks, which is why she films him every night through her bedroom window. She watches him undress, knowing he's teasing her, his smiles all but telling her she can watch but not touch. But she wants to touch more than anything, so when he comes to her for help, needing her to do his assignments or he'll be dropped from the hockey team, Lucy sees a way she can finally get what she wants.

Riley knows Peeping Lucy has a crush on him, all of the school does, and he's never cared until it can get him what he needs. He's desperate to win a hockey scholarship, taking him one step closer to pulling him and his dad out of poverty. And he's willing to do anything for it, even if it means he has to sell his body - and his soul, cheating on everything he believes in.

A sexy serial coming soon.

Please state your interest below in becoming a beta reader for this New Adult series. It's set in Minnesota, USA, so it would be good if I have at least one person from that area. Once we have enough beta readers, I will start sending out a chapter at a time. This series is a serial.
