Looking for Beta Readers

I am in need of a couple of reliable beta readers for the second editions of the Highland Home Series. The next book in the series is Captured Sun and is slated for a mid-March release.

If you are interested in helping me weed out the last of the pesky editing errors and catching any continuity or factual errors, please request to join my Highland Home Street Team group on Facebook or the Q&A group on Goodreads (look for the Beta Reader Discussion Thread).

What you get:
ARC copy of the book in PDF format
My undying gratitude
SWAG when I have it made for Captured Sun

What I need from you
A detailed list of page numbers and errors (i.e. page 7, Jack ran dow the street should be down)
A dedication that you will meet the deadlines set for return of your notes to me.

If you don't think you can meet a deadline, please let me know so that I can try to get someone else to take your place for that book.

I have three other second edition books coming out between now and June. Then book six (unreleased thus far) in October and book seven in April of next year.

Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

Building a Street Team

As the Highland Home series is being released in the Second Editions, I will be advertising and getting as much exposure for the books and myself as I possibly can. I'm putting together a "Street Team" to help me with promotion.

What you get if you're a team member:

1. My eternal gratitude :)
2. Early reading rights
3. Cool SWAG

What you have to do:

1. Join the Highland Home Street Team Group
2. Like, Comment, and Share posts from the group to every place you can think of
3. Talk about Highland Home and me

Basically the idea is that I'll post info and ads in the group and you just have to like and share those posts. If you think of another way to promote the books, please feel free to do so.

I look forward to working with you!

Mourning Sun is the first book in the Highland Home Series. It is where you meet these amazing characters who pushed me so hard to tell their story that I dreamed of them while I wrote the books.

The second edition of this book is so much better than the first edition was. Not only have I grown as a writer and made additions to the tale, but my wonderful editor has helped to make the book better than I could have done on my own. Thank you to Edits and Formatting by V
