Road Map / What’s Next:
I am actively working on The Strangers’ Crossroads, which takes place in the same world as Healers but features different characters (other graduates from the Academy). Approaching publish status is The Ballad of the Bardbarian, Therapist book 8, which I hope to have out by the end of October.
Healers 4 proper is not out of the question for me, as I intended to keep going with those characters. But it seems like readers consider that a finished series/trilogy, so I’m holding off for the time being.
Beta reading status: If you’re interested in beta reading any time in the future (for either series) or have a trade I might be able to help with, feel free to contact me. wheel.of.a.different.color@gmail.com or u/ofthecageandaquarium on Reddit. Let me know which series you’re up for.
When, eventually, I get to the point where I have something ready, there’s no obligation whatsoever. This is more of an “open to being asked” list.
The Ballad of the Bardbarian (Therapist 8) is open for beta reading now. I am open to beta readers who haven’t read the rest of the series, because I hope this one can be jumped into cold.
Trades: I don’t always have time or energy to properly devote to beta reading for other people, and I’m trying to be more honest with myself about that. But when the stars align, I love to beta read. I have opinions, and I can usually verbalize them! And I like paying it forward, so I don’t charge for beta reading. However:
- I don’t specialize in one genre, which is a drawback: for instance, I cannot tell you if a story works as a cozy fantasy, as a romance, etc. I can tell you if I, personally, liked or disliked various aspects of a story, and why.
- Unless you tell me otherwise, I will tell you if I don’t like aspects of your story or if I’m confused, bored, or irritated by a plotline/scene/character. I will try to be nice about it, but please: really, truly, deeply think about whether you want to hear that. It has caused problems before. If you want positive vibes only, please state that up front.
- I don’t do sexual assault, tons of violence, middle-grade or children’s lit. I support your freedom to write about those things; I just don’t like reading them. (Yes, I read middle grade on occasion for my own reading, ex. Chrestomanci. I’ve found that I am not useful at all with beta reading it, though.)
Thanks!
