Looking for First Readers!

What is a First Reader you ask?

  You get to read my books first... You get to tell me what you like and don't like.  You get to help me make my book into a publishable manuscript.  You also get to tell me that the whole things stinks... if it does stink.  "Yuck" is a regular note my editor sends me so yuck away and also Ooo and ahhhh away!  Every yuck gets edited into an ooooo!

I need a dozen first readers.  You get my stories one or two chapters at a time.  You just make any notes in a different color right in the word document and send it back to me.  I then get you the next chapter as soon as I can...

The benefit other than having permission to say Yuck to someone?
 You get bragging rights!  You were the first one to read my book.  Up to the challenge?  I think I could also swing you a copy of the published version of my books when they come out... perhaps!  Heehee!

One thing I have learned from all these authors I have seen lately is that first readers are a must!  Anyone got some spare reading time on their hands?   I've got the first two chapters of a book right here... ready to go!

Readers keep on reading... Writers keep on writing!
