I'm looking for one or two betas for my sci fi romance novella, Tin Cat, specifically for someone in a wheelchair and definitely for adults, since there are sex scenes.

The novella isn't quite finished, but as my request is quite narrow I thought to get it out now. It should be done by the weekend, maybe a little later. It's at 22K of an estimated 30K.

Blurb that I wrote up for a pitch competition:
A year after the accident that put her in a wheelchair, Amber Gerald has more or less gotten used to living with her impairment. It doesn't make a difference to running a comic book store anyway, and the customers have been the best support group she could have wished for.

When she rescues an abandoned cat, Amber has no idea that she's interfering in the mad scheme of a time travelling bank robber. Or that the man that walks into her store dressed like Blade is about to become her bodyguard.

Between being an unwitting owner of an android cat and falling for a cybernetic bounty hunter, Amber finds her life a whole new level of weird as science fiction becomes a very real factual threat.

Why exactly is your character in a wheelchair? Most people who use them have some use of their legs (and most of them got there because of illness or something they were born with), and that's more where my experience lies. I don't have time to beta, but I can definitely answer some questions about getting around in a wheelchair (as someone without paralysis). Good luck!
