This is super helpful @Dale. Thank you so much!
Hello! I’m still working on my book blurb for my current WIP and this is what I have so far. Any thoughts, input, or critique is welcome!——-
A long kept secret, a seaside kingdom, and a shocking revelation will change her life.
Amira is no stranger to tragedy, yet few can rival her cheeriness. A young woman now orphaned, she seeks joy in the little things—nature, her friends, and the memories of her late mother. When she gets the opportunity to leave her sleepy village and visit the kingdom’s capital of Kalopsia, her excitement knows no bounds. But even her vivid imagination never thought the adventure would come with a crown…or a father.
King Thorndale’s life has never been the same since his wife left with their baby daughter. He has spent years blaming himself and trying not to collapse under the weight of his duties and his heavy heart. So when Amira is thrust unexpectedly into his life, he’s unsure if it’s a blessing or a curse. Her sunny disposition sheds light on the lingering darkness inside him, but he is one of the few who knows just how much danger she was and may still be in.
But soon, the picturesque scene of ballgowns and paternal bonding is worn down by tedious rules, embarrassing faux pas, critical family members, and an emotional barrier keeping the father Amira’s desperate to know just out of reach. And when a precious item goes missing, she discovers something more nefarious may be afoot. She’s determined to find the answers to save their tentative relationship, but failing may bring it to ruin altogether. Is the ray of hope bright enough to see them through? Or will grief and doubt overshadow it for good?
This is book two in the “Fallen Stars” series and can be read as a stand alone novel. Walking the line of historical fiction and fantasy, this story will take you to a beautiful fictional kingdom where magic spells and dragons are absent, but ballgowns, secret rooms, ocean breezes, family dynamics, and touches of mystery abound. Perfect for readers young and old looking for a clean, wholesome story that will give you all the feels.

I’ve been super excited to share this with everyone and hope you love it as much as I do.

Hello! I have some ARC copies available and I'm looking for readers who are willing to help spread the word about my book by writing an honest review. If selected, a free copy of the book will be sent via Booksprout. It’s already been published, but it’s been recently revised and I’m hoping to gain some reviews before enrolling it in KDP select later this month. It also has a fresh cover!
I’d like to have reviews within a couple weeks if possible. If interested or have any questions, please PM me. :) Book summary below.
——
A clean and wholesome historical romance novella. Her heart has been broken too many times. He has never given his away. Can either of them find what they truly need? Independent Tillie Edwards has never failed to surprise society with her life choices. The fact that she has yet to find a husband only adds fuel to their fire. But she has opened her heart to many so-called gentlemen only to have it broken time and again. She decides to embrace spinsterhood and give love a break for a while, allowing time for her heart to heal. Miles Morgan has never courted anyone, spending most of his days working on the family farm. He’s resigned to the fact that women of society will overlook him, seeing him as nothing more than a simple country boy. Everyone except for Tillie, the kind-hearted beauty whom he knows will never be more than a friend. Just when they think everything is figured out, life throws them a curveball neither saw coming: love. Will the risk be too much for this unlikely pair? Or will they find a lasting home for their hearts in each other? This is a stand-alone novella by Madison McAuley. It is a feel-good, sweet romance set in the Regency era.
Good to know. Thanks guys!
Hello all.I haven’t used beta readers before (outside of family members anyway) but thought it would be good to bet an unbiased opinion on my manuscript. I see beta reader groups here on Goodreads where people offer their services for free. But I worry about someone stealing my work or selling it to be posted online.
What are your thoughts/experiences on this? Has anyone gotten beta readers like this before?
