Indies Gotta Spend if Readers Gonna Read

Many indie authors self-edit and stop there. I learned (the hard way) that to engage readers so they enjoy my stories, like all authors, I need a team of experts to polish and refine a manuscript into a novel.

I invest in my craft to provide you with a great reading experience. That starts with self-editing but cannot end there. An author must add beta readers, professional (paid) editors and proofreaders, and finally ARC readers.

Anyone reading this... I invite you to join my beta reading team...

I am working on a crime/thriller following Detective Walker Michaels as the serial killer he could not catch returns after a four-year hiatus. I am already getting some excellent feedback from a few beta readers and would love your input as well. I will send a free copy (eBook or paperback) to all beta readers when I publish the novel.

My Next Read (On an upcoming flight from Milan to New York)

The second book, and hopefully a future film by Denis Villeneuve. Dune is one of my favorite books. It weaves such a complex story through intricate world building yet is character-centric at the core. Dune Messiah continues the story of Paul Atreides, better known—and feared—as the man christened Muad’Dib. As Emperor of the known universe, he possesses more power than a single man was ever meant to wield. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne—and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence. ​View on Amazon​
