Hello ,
Many of my in-person friends--make that most of my in-person friends--don't read romance books. I know--a real shame. This is one of the reasons why I appreciate you so much!
So when one of the non-romance readers asked more than once to read one of my manuscripts (unfinished), I was reluctant to agree. But time has passed and her circumstances have changed (she's suffered much personal loss) and I've asked her to beta read one of my books.
She's a thoughtful reader and she needs something to challenge her and maybe engross her.
I thought I'd be afraid to do it, but, heck, I've been writing long enough to have developed a thick skin and learn to accept criticism and recognize the difference good points and someone who just doesn't get/like romance.
When my friend returns my ms. with her comments, I will need to take a deep breath, but I expect her review will be helpful and she will be kind in her criticism.
BUT, my point in telling you about this is, when I get her feedback, there's an off-chance I may need some encouragement from true romance readers.🙂❤
This week I'm still side-tracking to Rory's story because it's part of the series and I need to think ahead--or that's my excuse. Either way, I NEED to name Rory's romantic interest soon and I'd love your help.
