I am a full-time author working in the romance genres. I write just about all romance genres--excluding contemporary--and my work spans the GLBTQ, het and menage (m/m/f) spectrum. This means Old Westerns, Scifi (Cyberpunk, Space Opera and some other scifi themes) Fantasy, Paranormal, Horror (and I may be doing a straight up horror novel soon), Post-Apocalyptic, Futuristic, Holiday Themes, Mystery/Suspense probably some Steampunk in the near future, and mixtures of the above because my motto is: 'Genres are like potato chips, you can't have just one.'

I am in desperate need of a beta reader--round two beta editing, not rough draft stage--who is willing to work with me on a fairly regular basis.

Someone with an English degree is preferred but anyone who is good at finding continuity errors, plot holes, inconsistencies and other glitches introduced by my rather odd writing habits--I've often finished the last chapter before the first or second one is written--is welcome to contact me. I have been known to send payment based off of my royalties to my beta reader/editors but at this time I cannot promise much by way of upfront payment.

Stories will typically include gay, lesbian, heterosexual and/or menage graphic sex so my beta needs to be a legal adult, and not be squicked by graphic depictions of sexual interaction. (It's what all my publishers want so that's what I write.) That being said, there is always a plot in my stories.

To get a better idea of what I write visit my website or any of my publishers who are listed there.

Edited to Add: Please note I'm willing to work with more than one beta reader/editor so a single person's scheduling isn't swamped. I will also issue a formalized contract stating terms so you know what and when you'll be paid.

If interested please contact me via PM through the Water Cooler.
