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.

Heh, wrod, Tep.

I think my clown story is going to be unremittingly dark. I'm in the mood for dark.

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.

Deb, if you need another beta reader for your clown story, I would love to read it.

sj, will send in the morning. I'm reeling right now. Exhaustion, big time.

OK. Sleep well, Deb.
