ARC Readers


Thank you to all of you who downloaded a copy of my latest Narovian Mates Story. I hope that you will enjoy it and find time to go to Amazon and leave a brief review.

I'm a self published author, and I don't have a big company behind me promoting my work.  There is only me on a budget of almost $0 marketing my work via social media. That also means I don't pay  anyone to make the covers, edit, or proof read the work.  I do it all.

---And wouldn't you know it, but shortly after I put the captain's story up on instafreebie, I noticed more typos that I missed. So don't be shy about pointing them out---not in a review but an email directly to me.

Like many writers, I write the kind of stories I like to read. I am also an ARC reader for other authors in the scifi romance genre. When I do and ARC review, if I don't like the story or find it deeply flawed, I send a personal email to the author as a constructive critique. That gives them the opportunity to decide whether to revise or not without badmouthing their work publicly. Other readers might like it just fine and give it glowing reviews.

Sometimes, I've read snarky negative reviews on the same books I read and wonder it they actually read the same book I read---and vice versa. 

As a writer, I realize my Narovian Mates Series is not for everyone. They are basically erotic romances but there is more to it than just hot sex. The story isn't over. I am already working on  the next segment. The Narovian Mates stories are sequential with a happy ending for each one.  I absolutely hate cliff hangers that are only a segment of the story with no resolution until two or three volumes later.

I am already writing the next segment of this story which is set in the same universe and time line.  I contains many of the same characters, but will center on other characters romances. As soon as "Mated to the Alien Star Ship Captain" comes off the giveaway, it will be available to read free on Kindle Unlimited.
