Henderson Smith's Blog: The Beginning... - Posts Tagged "beta-readers"

I've been keeping a low profile because I've been working on the sequel, "Betrayed by Beauty." It's taking longer than I thought and will probably not be out until next spring, but the good news is, I think it will be an amazing sequel that the lovers of The Ugly Princess will adore. Let me know if you want to be a beta reader and I'll add your name to the list!

I'm hoping the the sales of The Ugly Princess will improve, or else I'm writing this book for 100 people...love my dedicated readers, but am hoping that we can get Olive out into the world to more readers. With your help, I can. If you loved the book, please recommend to your friends! Thanks so much for your support, Henderson

As many of you know, I was so disheartened about the poor sales of The Ugly Princess that I started writing a new book instead of working on its sequel. (I am still working on the sequel to TUP, and it is going to be amazing), but I've almost finished the new book, which is called: The Dog Show - Las Vegas. It's about a little dog who must win a Dog Show and its prize to save his shelter. It's funny, moves along quickly and I'll probably call it a middle-grade coming-of-age story even the one who is coming-of-age is a dog!

I think I'll be finished with the first draft in a couple of weeks and I'd like to see if any of you would like to be a beta reader for it.

Since it would be a first draft, I could still make dramatic changes to the manuscript based on comments I get from you. Please let me know if you're interested.

Thanks so much,
Henderson

Hello Everyone,

I'm hoping that some of you like my writing enough to read something else by me. I just finished my second book called, The Dog Show: Las Vegas, and I am so pleased with it.

Anyone who becomes a beta reader for The Dog Show will also be the first one's to read the first draft of Betrayed by Beauty, which is coming along beautifully and is going to really surprise you with how big the Olive's world is becoming.

If you are interested in reading, The Dog Show, let me know!

Thanks for your support,
Henderson

So few readers, so little time....okay, so I didn't manage to find many readers with The Ugly Princess, which was rather heart-breaking actually, but at least (for the vast majority) for those who did read it, they fell in love with Olive as well. Yes, I'm still working on the sequel, but it is not finished (but going very well).

Sometimes life takes over and takes you down another path than what you planned. Part of that path was beginning on a new series of books called: The Woofapalooza. Book 1: The Devil in a Dog Suit. It's about a shy little dog who must win a big Dog Show in order to save his friends, and I'm very proud of it. I'm looking for a few beta readers if there is anyone out there who's interested. I need a couple of Beta's for the first half of The Ugly Princess sequel as well. If anyone's interested, please let me know. I'd love the help.

Thanks! Henderson
