BETA READERS WANTED
For Mythic Fantasy Quest
The Asaric Tales quint …
… begins in an age before the gods, in the between-time when ice gave way to warmer days, when nomadic hunter-fisher clans turned to settled agriculture, when villages began, and spirits and demons held sway. We follow Kerrid, an Asar with abilities beyond the human, as she weaves through ages fraught with ice and floods and droughts on a mythic quest to discover what she has done to draw the venom of the darkest demon.
Asaric Tales Books One through Five will be published on Kindle just as soon as the fifth book has passed the beta reader stage. Why not be part of that process and help me achieve my goal. You never know, you might enjoy it. Currently calling for beta readers for Book Three, Asaric Skies.
Asaric Skies: The Blurb
The Spinner, Lady of the Oracular Web, has tasked Kerrid to eradicate the demon Neka (Book One). Analysis of her own and her fellow Asars’ dreams have revealed the Asars to be banished divines (Book Two). But for what crime were they banished? For failing to oust an intruding demon from their high divine world—or so believes her husband, the Asar Gimmerin. With no better suggestion, Kerrid accepts it. Now she must find a way back to their usurped world and, this time, successfully oust the demon. The Spinner uses a pole to move through the dimensions. If Kerrid can find it and use it to reach that high world then she might also discover what she has done to draw the demon’s hatred of her. Equipped with that knowledge she then can do the Spinner’s bidding and eradicate the dark demon. But there are those she meets along the way who would distract, delay or hinder her. Some might even try to kill her.

Thanks Judy. Have emailed the requisite. It is true what the experienced writer says: a beta reader once found is a treasure to honour. 🙂

For Book Three, yea. But I’ve just finished the rewrite of Book Two, so that needs to go back out to betas (or at least to one), but to someone who hasn’t read it before.

Think carefully before you volunteer. Set way-way back, as the Mesolithic is sliding into Neolithic, in a society strongly patriarchal, it is not to everyone’s tastes with the current #Metoo focus. Of my betas and critiquers only one has reacted against it. But with Canada being as strongly 4th/5th/6th wave feminist as U.S, I do need to warn you about it. For instance: One of the characters is an extreme misogynist, another is foul-mouthed with a mind that resides in the gutter, and yet another is currently overcompensating for his insecurities.
But if you want to try it, please do. Would you like that I send you the synopsis?

I don’t understand how people get up in arms over stories, especially period pieces. Like everyone freaking out because the n-word is used in a movie or book set at a time when it was commonly used. If a story is about an Eskimo in the time they were called that, it’s stupid to usr Inuit….
So. No worries about me, k?

Brill. If you use the form on the Contact Me page to send me your email address (it will not be visible on my blog) I will send you the synopsis. You then can decide. Also, let me know if you can’t use Word.docx, and what you’d prefer instead.
And thank you. In fact, many, many thank yous.

I have. I believe you. I’ll send you a synopsis (full of spoilers) and a blub (for those who don’t like spoilers) If I seem slow in doing so that’s cos Friday night I phone my 98 yr old Dad, and he frets if I’m late. 🙂

That’s one way to look at it. Though I have to admit, grey November days can be sooo depressing. And here, on coast of East Anglia, we don’t often see snow, and if we do, it’s usually in February or March.
