Got it, Nilly. Off to read.
Dana, Bev, will send as soon as the other computer is up. My fiction is all kept on the hard drive on the dining room machine, which is off the network at the moment as Nic does downloads on the laptop.
Aaaand, you all rock. Clowns!
edit: Woot! Nilly, you caught a missing word, in the description of placement of the clowns' faces above the circus tent in the poster: it should be:
"And faces, each one somehow hovering just behind and over each tent."
I'd omitted the "each". Just a skosh difference in meaning.
Clowns! Apocalypse!
I can beta as well, Deb, if you want someone else. I like the name "Mr. CoughNSneeze."
I'm hoping to have this thing done by the weekend, so I can send it off. Assuming I can find thirty seconds in which to breathe, that is...
Deb, would be honored to beta, but am on overload this week. Sounds like you already have an excellent group of readers lined up in any case. Maybe next time?
I love that you're writing about apocalyptic clowns.
Also...if I get really brave I may be asking for some betas myself in the next couple of weeks.
You know, the more I read the phrase "four clowns of the apocalypse" the more ridiculously funny it gets. =)
ETA: Also, I will clearly buy the book.
Kristin, this joint packs some heavy-duty good beta readers; the acknowledgement pages of my series is laden with Buffista thanks.
I think my clown story is going to be unremittingly dark. I'm in the mood for dark.
Because of the conversation in Natter, all I can think of when I read "Four Clowns of the Apocalypse" is Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rice.

It's a story about the apocalypse. It better be dark.
Oh, who am I kidding. Like Good Omens was dark.
Susan, I've read more than enough Regencies to know the basics, and I haven't read the earlier version of your novel. A Word attachment to my profile address is fine, if you want to send it my way.
Thanks, Dani! Insent to your profile address.
