Beta Reading Group for Marita A. Hansen discussion

This is the page discussion for the first chapter (possibly more) of THE COP, the 3rd episode of PLAYED.

Family secrets come out here, particularly regarding Riley. Also, some more sinister elements come to light in relation to other characters, which progress onto the fourth episode THE COACH. There are two coaches in that episode, one for the hockey team, one for the wrestling team.

I won't be sending out The Cop straight after The Cheerleader. There will be a break due to Christmas, plus I want to develop it a bit more, along with The Coach.

Can’t wait will definitely be worth the wait. Have a great Xmas.

Thanks, Emma, hope you have a great Christmas too :)

I like to read that there will be two more books: The Cop and The Coach, am I right?
If so, I accept the wait.
Merry Christmas, Marita.

Yes, The Cop #3 and The Coach #4 are next, though there is a fifth book, which might be called The Cougar (not sure of that name yet, it'll depend upon how The Coach goes), with possibly more episodes if the series sells way.

Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year :)

I'll be sending out the first lot of The Cop sometime next week. Just one question, when I start publishing the episodes, do you think publishing one every 3 weeks is the best? I can possibly do one every 2 weeks, but 3 will give me a bit more time. Also...

HAPPY NEW DECADE from NEW ZEALAND!

If you want to take your time with it 3 weeks is ok but a would have one every week if a could haha. Also how many chapters is there in the one? Happy new year x

There are about 9 chapters, though I'll be sending out chapter 1 and 2 in the first round, since chapter 2 isn't big.

I'm a week behind, life getting in the way, but I've finally got the first two chapters of THE COP ready to send out. I would normally do a recap with my episodes. Unfortunately, that happens just before I publish the books, so I'll give you a very brief one here in regards to what happened in The Cheerleader. Brooke found out about Riley and Lucy, so she sets Lucy up, making it look like she slept with Zuko and Daniel. Lucy confronts Zuko about it, finding out that he's being forced to lie, Brooke having a sex tape of him, threatening to expose him to his team. They both want to get Brooke off their backs and prove their innocence, so Lucy gets her brother to hack into Brooke's and Daniel's files, finding the racey photo with the guy who was found murdered in the woods.

I'm off to send you chapter 1 and 2 of THE COP.

I forgot to say that there isn't a cover for THE COP yet. I have the cover photo, I was just planning on making it in February.

I just read the first two chapters of The Cop, and they're really good.
They're full of intrigue and mystery and tension

Thanks, Savannah. I'm going to be sending out the next lot a bit later than expected as I need to send all the info to reviewing sites by Friday for THE CHEAT (Played #1) as well as upload the final copy onto Amazon, getting it all prepared for the launch of the series. Once I have that done, I'll be sending out the next lot, then preparing THE CHEERLEADER.

Hi, everyone, long time no chat. Sorry about that, I got really busy with things over the past months. Anyway, if you want the final full copies of The Cheat and The Cheerleader let me know and I'll send you them. The Cop is currently with its editor, so when it's finished I can send the final copy as well.

Once I'm done with the episodes, rounding everything off, I will be finishing Hungover, publishing that next, then moving onto the next Santini Brothers book Dominic & Vincenzo.

Anyway, have a nice week!

The Cop is ready, I will send it to you all on Monday. If it doesn't get through, let me know and I'll resend it.

I've sent out The Cop. If the ARC doesn't get through, let me know and I'll resend it.

Perfect can’t wait x
