Hi friends,

I'm settling in . . . just in time for my oldest daughter to get married . . . a week from today!

Everyone is both excited and a bit stressed. It will be a wonderful day, and we'll hopefully get everything done in time! :D

And in the midst of all that, the audiobook for Awakening Horde just got finished! My first ever.

For those who are curious, when an author commissions their own audiobook, it costs about $3,000 for a ten-hour or ~100k length book. Mine is double that - eek!

The hope is that the sales will eventually bring in enough to pay for it and hopefully more. We'll see, and I'll report back.

And since it's been a while since I released a new book on Amazon (I've been doing the Royal Road/Patreon thing first). . . I'm looking for a few dedicated readers to join my ARC team to help with the launch.

All the details below :)

Want to join my ARC Team?

(and get Advanced Review Copies)

If you love to read brand new books before everyone else . . . and can post an Amazon review when you're done, then you might enjoy being on my ARC team.

Have you ever seen a book on Amazon with zero stars? So new that it looks like no one has read it?

Yep - they all start that way. It's hard to get readers to take a chance on them.

So that's where an ARC comes in, ie. an Advance Review Copy.

Here's how the ARC Team works:

• You get a free copy of Awakening Horde a couple of weeks before it goes live = around the beginning of this July. (I give you a Bookfunnel link that comes with instructions to load it on your favorite device)
• Read and enjoy it, taking a few mental notes of what you liked.
• Write a review - doesn't have to be long at all. Just what you think browsers might want to know before they try it.
• Post your review on Amazon once the book is live. I'll make sure you get the link. (FYI - You need to spend $50 on Amazon in the last year to post a review)
• Enjoy the satisfaction of giving my new book a significant boost. <3

If this sounds like something you'd like to do, send me a quick email, and I'll add you to my list.

I should also get some free audiobook codes for reviewers at some point, too. So if that's your thing, let me know that, too.

I can't wait to see how this book and audio do! Thanks so much for your support!

Enjoy a splendid book this week!

- Misty :)
