AmyLiz is me.... I liked your piece very much erika!
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

I wrote it twice...initially her backing out was...a little too sitcom, or something...she lost her notes, or some passive-aggressive thing like that. Which my beta hated.(He was right.) I'll tell him you said so...make his week.

Fay, I'd like to beta for you if you're still looking for readers.
Add me to the chorus of enthusiasm for erika's story. A lot of cool ideas packed in there.
Thoroughly enjoyed connie and Sail's drabbles. Haven't been able to come up with anything myself yet...

Aw...making my little feedback fiending heart glad today. That's what happens when you mix a. life. b. Dreams. and that song about god on a bus. Oh, and a mother that will say "Robert McNamara" like a vile curse.As a kid, I'd have put him at Hitler's right hand...I'm not kidding. Liberals do too have bad guys.

meanwhile, is anyone reasonably familiar with kids' books? I'm thinking Lemony Snicket, Alex Ryder, Diana Wynne Jones, Harry Potter -that kind of 11/12 year old stuff, maybe? Because I'm going to need a beta reader for the kids' book (now with added swashbuckling) fairly soon, just to have a look at how it's starting out. Feisty kids, swashbuckling, libraries, buried treasure, peril, possibly magic, all that jazz...?
Raises hand
I LOVE that sort of stuff, and read lots of it. I would be delighted to be a beta reader for you.

I volunteer Emmett. Oh wait. But if you want to ask Hec, he is the perfect age.

Fay, I don't know how many beta readers you need, but I do read a lot of children's and young adult books. I think of them and mysteries as the last bastions of the plot. It is possible that they are just the last bastions of plots I can follow, but I try not to think about that. I've been reading "kids, buried treasure and magic" books since I was tiny E. Nesbit reader.

Fay, I'd be happy to help out if you still need it. I love children's lit and still read it frequently.
