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.

Back before Covid I used to do readings at local bookstores, and such and…

Actually, let me correct that. I used to think about doing readings. What I have actually done, and still do are readings on my youtube channel.

Most of them are older novels, but ones that tell an important story. Such as the George Macdonald’s Phantastes series, where we explore this and some of the other works that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien.

Some of them are in period kit.  Something that you might not be aware of is that The Evercharm Series is set in 1815. It’s kind of a neat way of bringing you into the world that surrounds Christaan De Rein, Higgins, and our other wonderful (and cantankerous) characters.
