OK, I've never posted an open invite for beta readers before so let's see how this goes. A novel I've just completed is outside of what folks expect from me so I'm needing to move beyond the people to whom I'd normally look for help. I'm searching for people who don't know me at all so that I know I'm getting a real, fresh take on the material.
And since I'm not used to working with outside assistance, I'd sure like to get someone experienced.
This novel has gone through several re-writes and is in the final polish stage.
I don't need nice right now. I need rugged brutality. I need people to work hard at taking this thing apart. It's jot-and-tittle time.
Here's the tale of the tape:
Length - 100K words
Genre - Paranormal Western. R-rated.
Quick synopsis:
The paranormal collides with 1870's American Southwest.
Brady, an alcoholic womanizer who can tell you what you're thinking, what you've done and what you're going to do meets Mallory, an enigmatic little red-headed Sister of an obscure religious order, who's come looking to hire Brady for a mission in which The Church has an immense interest.
OK, so if anyone is willing, what do we do now?
NEMO (not that *$#&%! fish) NEKROSTELOS
