LF/ Swaps for a 107k Mystery w/ slight sci-fi elements

[Eduardo]

Hello everyone, thanks for giving this a look.

I'm in need of a few betas for my current project, but before you read further details, please know that I need this feedback for the 3rd week of February AT THE LATEST.

I'll of course extend the same courtesy for any swaps.

If you're still with me, here are some details on my MS:

Working Title: "Bloodless Intent"
Word Count: 107k
Genre: Mystery/Thriller with slight sci-fi elements.
Currently on its third draft.

Burb:

"Telegrams are being sent and the police’s horses have risen earlier, for under the gas lights of Feshizvenn’s docks they have found a woman’s corpse, but not just any corpse. She presents a state of extreme decay, nothing but bones with a thin layer of skin to dress them. Anyone watching would conclude she had been dead for ages.

Yet in truth, she was alive yesterday.

Entangled in this impossibility is Andrew Zivos, a twenty-seven-year-old medicine dropout who had moved to the port town of Feshizvenn with his sister and their dog in hopes to escape their father’s recrimination and his own self-disappointment for failing to complete his training as a doctor.

History between the murdered woman and Andrew makes the local police consider him as a suspect and force him to cooperate with the investigation. Now, Andrew is thrust into a mystery he’s not prepared to solve, and which will lead him to discover a deadly plot that will endanger not only him and his sister, but the whole country."

Thanks, and have a great day.

Hi Eduardo,

Sounds interesting! Would a new adult, paranormal, psychological thriller happen to fall within your tastes? Mine is 146k, but if you're looking to trade about equivalent word counts, I'd be willing to trade reading your novel for the first nine chapters of mine (about 102k).

You can read a little more about my project Twelve's Design and a sample of the novel here:

Let me know here or in a PM if you're interested.

Hi Emily,

I'm definitely interested. The length is not a problem, I'll be happy to read the whole thing. Can I have your email to get in contact and swap the manuscripts?
