C. Frazier Jones | 15 comments Hi everyone, I'm new here and a little confused. Please guide me gently.
I am the author of a short story collection; advanced copies will be out the middle of October. I am of course, looking for reviewers, but also camaraderie, support and guidance. Those of you who have lived through an indi-publishing experience, now's your time to mentor a newbie and trust me, I need it!
The following is the media ready synopsis for my collection:
"In these eight mesmerizing tales, author C. Frazier Jones takes us to a playground built by imagination, where mermaids ferry the dead to the the afterlife, a husband, long missing, returns as a cat and a vengeful spirit haunts a Pawnee, Oklahoma Walmart, much to the inconvenience of both customers and staff. Overflowing at times with heartbreak, humor and hope, Things We Thought We Saw in the Water will stay with the you long after you have placed the book aside."
If this sounds like the kind of disaster you would like to get on board with, please let me know. I am so grateful for the prospect of this community.
Best,
Courtney

I haven't done a review for a pre-release yet, but I've done several for already published books. I'd love to read and review your book. My e-mail is: bonsper@sbcglobal.net

C. Frazier Jones | 15 comments Hi Pam and Jeanette,
Thank you so much for your interest and responding to my request for readers. Pam, my editor and I are working on what I hope will be the final version of my book, then I would love to send it your way; somewhere in the neighborhood of the next few days.
Jeanette, I'm not sure how many advanced copies I'll get, but if the numbers work out, I'll send one your way. I much prefer a paper book myself.
I'll be in touch with you both soon and again, thanks so much!
Courtney

Julius Slighterman (slighterman) | 3 comments Hi Courtney,

Your collection of stories look cool. :) Are you interested in review swap? Earlier this year I have published an e-book of three short sci-fi stories (14K words), and I'm looking for reviewers. Would be glad to review yours in exchange. (A kindle version would be perfect.)

Julius,
I would love to swap, however, my book is not yet available in a kindle version. (As I write this, it's being downloaded for the first round of printing).
I would be happy to email you the final edit of the pdf, which is in book form, or I can wait until the Kindle version is available. Just let me know what you prefer.
Thanks so much!
Courtney

Hi, Lance,
Thanks so much for you interest. Unfortunately, I do not have a an epub edition yet. At this point, the book is only available on pdf. If you would like me to send you that version, I would be more than happy to. If not, when it is available in your format, I'll send it your way.
Let me know what you think and thank you for responding.
Courtney

Nicholette Campbell (lovingmylife-goodreadscom) | 8 comments Courtney,

Do you want a review at the end of each story or a total overall review?


message 23: by C. Frazier (new)

C. Frazier Jones | 15 comments Total overview, if you're comfortable with that. If not, however the spirit leads is just fine.
