This shouldn't be that painful of a read *grin* but romance gives my usual beta reader hives, so I need someone who's more, uh, enthusiastic about the genre.

Desert Rain is 53K, aimed at Harlequin Presents. It's reasonably clean -- I find smut very difficult to write properly ... *Shrug*

Primarily, I eed someone who is good at spotting typos -- I am cursed by an inability to put the @#$$^% commas and periods where they @#$# belong. I can spot errors other people make but not my own!

I think I've found most of the typos in this story but I'm sure there's still a few. Help?

And if you're familiar with romance and can tell me where I'm going right and wrong, I will be everlastingly grateful. :)

The first two scenes from this story are up in Share Your Work>> Romance, if anyone wants to see a sample. :)

Hi I read the frist section of your ms in the share your work section and would really like to read more. I've only done a small amount of critiquing for a friend, but would be willing to give it a shot. I can usually pick up typos and other little problems. Although like you not in my own work. If you're interested let me know and I'll pm you my email address so you can send it to me.

Yes, I could certainly use another Beta. Sorry it took me so long to respond -- for some reason, this post didn't show up when I searched the site for responses to posts I'd made!

You can PM me your e-mail address or just e-mail me at [email protected]
