I’m working on my book description now and would like your opinion. The first paragraph is one I wrote a while ago and feel settled on, so I don’t think I’ll change anything there unless there’s a glaring error, but the second part is what I’d particularly like your help on.

@dragon-snapper @graciegirl @winter-rose I’ll be working on my book description. Don’t know how long it will take, but I’ll probably be at least a half hour.

That’s probably about 200 normal book pages, I think.

@northerner Ah, I wish I could. Keep me in mind for the future since I always love beta reading, but at the moment I’m afraid I can’t add any more to my plate. 🙁
