Return of the ARC Team

October 23, 2023 By S.D. Reeves Leave a Comment

With the approach of the release of A Song in the Dark i’ve decided to begin reviving my Advanced Reader’s Club (ARC Team). What is it precisely? Why, an opportunity to read my works for free. More details to come, but see below for a brief introduction:

But I bet you have some questions, so let’s do this!

What’s a Reader’s Club?

A group of readers who are happy to write reviews (on Amazon, Goodreads, or Bookbub) in exchange for getting free advance copies of the books (also known as Advance Reader Copies, or ARCs).

What do I have to do?

When you join, I will send you a copy of Curses of Scale. Just shoot me a link to your honest review (within like three months), and you’ll get the Melody of Three, and then the next book, and so on.

What if I already bought your book(s)?

For those of you who have purchased one or the other of my books (huge thank you btw) I will be happy to provide you a copy of the other, and with a review of any of them get you ready for the future release of A Song in the Dark (you’ll get a copy weeks in advance of the release).

Do I have to review your book?

I don’t want you to write a review of something you didn’t finish, or aren’t comfortable about. So I will just be sending along Curses of Scale in the hope that you’ll take a minute to review them once you’re done.

I bet you only want positive reviews, right?

Nope. I want your honest to goodness opinions!

What about details, do you want a long review?

If you would like to only put a sentence, or a few words, do so. There’s no length requirement or anything.

Why are you doing this?

Reviews are the lifeblood of all authors, independent of traditionally published. We needs them. We needs lots of them preciousess.

So I just read it, review it, and send you the link?
It is just that simple, and I will keep you active on the team and send you along the next book.

What if I get busy?

While I did put a general time limit of three months per book, we all have lives. Just let me know and I will keep you active.

A Song in the Dark Pre-order

October 16, 2023 By S.D. Reeves Leave a Comment

It has been a long time coming, but I am happy to announce that the sequel to The Melody of Three, A Song in the Dark, is available for pre-order! I want to thank everyone that has kept up with me, watching, sending messages, and such for the last couple of years 🙂

Available here

Excerpt:

Everyone seeks her song. But who among them is prepared to die for it…

On a perilous mountain pass, Niena, the girl known as The Melody of Three, undertakes a treacherous journey with her fairy queen step-grandmother to escape all those who wish to control her. Niena’s gift is also her curse. As the descendant of three races, she is the only one who can play the Evercharm, the lyre used to create the fairy, elf, and human worlds. For sorcerer Christaan De Rein and his trusted apprentice Higgins, he needs Niena for the protection of the Curators. But after one long week into their journey to capture her, it feels as if they are chasing shadows.

When those shadows transform into seething Udur, the Teamor’s vicious hounds, Rein’s traveling party are not the only ones in imminent danger. Niena is learning fast that reality is not all that it seems. And if creation is to be stopped from unraveling completely, she must decide exactly who she can trust…

Review Request: Drunk Drivers by Matthias Lindgaard

October 15, 2023 By S.D. Reeves Leave a Comment

**Reviewer’s note about Drunk Drivers, I am going through my TBR list. Unfortunately, I am woefully out of date on sum, and this book has since gone unavailable in the market. I will leave the link still for when it comes back.

Drunken Drivers is a bit of an enigma to me. It is a blur of debauchery that scrapes the barrel: a raw and unexpected take on alcoholism, with all its lows, that yet somehow manages to stagger on into unexpected highs of storytelling.
