K.D.’s comments from the Free book editing/beta reading group.

I have a 108,000 word count novel in it's third round of revisions that needs a final beta reader before the editing phase. There is no sex, very mild and limited language, and 1 fairly graphic violent scene.

Here is the synopsis:

Things were certainly not what they used to be in Fairholm, or anywhere else for that matter. Everything had changed once the portal had been discovered and two worlds collided. Human curiosity invaded their world while evil entered ours.

Young Rowan Calloway lost everything. Everything except that one tiny spark of hope she refused to let go of. Maybe that’s why the Guide had chosen her. Maybe he saw her strength and determination and used her to prompt a revolution of change. At his command, she set off on a journey that would do just that. Against all odds, she survived her travels to Fairholm—the City behind the wall—where she met Captain Joshua Jayr and his sister, Hannah.

Tasked with locating the Creed of Prophecy, Rowan teams up with the Captain after his dad is captured by the evil Queen Sahara of Apollyon who claims that Dr. Jayr was hiding the book—an ancient relic said to hold the power to destroy Apollyon. A book Sahara herself had once possessed and desperately wanted back. But finding the book would not be so easy and was just the first task, for without the one person the Creed conscripted, the power would be useless.

A story of hope and perseverance takes the reader on an unforgettable journey as Joshua and Rowan discover more than just the Creed. Each choice will either bring them closer or farther away from finally setting the world free from the Apollyon chains that bind them. Chains that were choking out the human race, killing them one-by-one each year during the sixth moon.

The Guide chose wisely in Rowan. But will she have the strength to persevere? Will she and Joshua be fortunate enough to find the Creed and the Healer—a task no other has managed in all these years—or will Sahara find the Creed first and destroy mankind altogether? We hope we know the answer. But that’s the funny thing about stories, they don’t always turn out as we predict.

Please let me know if interested. Thank you!

Hi Tiffany,

I'm so glad to hear that you are better! You actually agreed to beta read my book last year right before your accident. If you are still interested, I would love to send it to you again. It's been through two more rounds of revisions since I last sent it to you so I really feel it's ready for another round of good readers. Let me know if you are interested. As a reminder, it's a YA/Fantasy, 108,000 words.
