Hi everyone,
As a precursor to the release of my novel I am e-publishing a short story to introduce the world to my characters. I have a challenge...if you win then I will add a character that is modeled after you to the short story.

Why would anyone be disappointed, Jen? LOL You're HELPING us, no matter how simple your explanation ends up being. :)

Oh goodness, you ladies flatter me.
I'll explain, but I'm afraid you're going to be very disappointed with my answer and then I'll be embarrassed! I am happy that it helped you out, Candy. That's awesome. :)

Jen, I was thinking about one of your replies some time back about my trouble with finishing my novel. You suggested finding a couple of Alpha readers. Well, I'm well on my way to finishing!! and have selected two people to read for me as Alphas. I thought it might be a good topic for a post above, explaining the differences between Alpha and Beta readers.
I blogged about this and had a couple of people who were curious for more information on them and the differences between the two.
Since it was your advice, would you like to do the honors? I think a lot of our members here would benefit from learning about them!:))
Thanks for your suggestion, it really got my rear moving!
