Congratulations, Jay! I wasn't here five years ago, so I have no idea about this book, but it sounds interesting. I'm sure you'll have plenty of offers for beta readers. If not, I would be happy to help.

    Thank you, Judy. This may be my second thank you to you. I'm sure I wrote a note to you earlier. Anyway, it really melts my heart that you are volunteering your time and energies to help me out. However, I do have the three readers that I need for this project. Thank you, though for your generosity.

    Judy, you are so kind. I am warmed by your offer, but I have all the Beta readers I can handle. I'm just humbled by your generosity. Thank you so much.

    Thank you, Jay. It would have been my pleasure, but I knew since I was late seeing your post, you?d probably have all you needed. I did get a previous note of thanks from you, so no need to reply again. :)

I'm truly excited about this book being published Jay! I know you will have many more takers than you have requested, wanting to accept your offer. I wonder how you will choose. We will all be celebrating with you when it comes out. A launch party is the least we can do. Keep us posted. Keeping my fingers crossed for a best seller. MM

    Thank you, MissMerri. I do have the three that was the maximum I needed. You are so sweet, though, to wish me well. I will keep you apprised as to the progress of my trilogy.

    Hi, MM, and you are so kind with your comments. Happily, I didn't have to use a fairness method for choosing. The first two offers were by FS writers who are conscientious and wholly competent

Hi Jay,

First, let me congratulate you, Jay!!! That is great news! That social security goes just so far so hoping this business venture will be lucrative for you.

I'm out of sixes until Sunday, but wanted to reach out. I haven't read your military fantasy sans dinosaurs, "The Trining", does that disqualify me automatically from being a beta reader san pay? LOL

I wouldn't mind offering if you still need another set of eyes (on stalks).

All the best,
Senyai

    Hey, Senyai, thanks for your kind offer to be a beta reader. You are so conscientious to volunteer. Unfortunately, I have all I can manage. You are so busy, anyway, with your own writing. I'll keep everyone informed as to my progress.

Hi Jay,

firstly, that's great news on the publishing front. By the way, vanilla is my favourite flavour of ice-cream, don't know why it gets a bad rap so often these days! lol

I'll pm you, my friend.

Wow! You got a real bona fide book deal!! Congratulations, Jay! You don't have anything to worry about as you do a super job with grammar, spelling, and punctuation so you don't need a proofer. It doesn't sound like a topic I would like to read so I won't offer my services. I'm really behind in reading from all the books people have given me so far...BUT
Congratulations!!

Wonderful--I already sent you a PM--I wasn't here back when--sounds intriguing--can't quite conceptualize--looking forward to reading it now or later, as the case may be.

Come on. Do you think most of FanStory writers are vanilla kind of guys?

I'm sorry that I'm a nutty kind of gals. I only like ice cream flavors that have nuts in them unless it is Coffee. So I can't help you.

I'm not very good at grammar so I don't think I'm a good reader for you.

I will look for the piece of writing and maybe I will change my mind.

    You are too funny, Lisa. I really don't expect too many takers on this anyway. But I sure thank you for reading my little request.
