I’ve started sending the manuscript to the alpha readers who passed the test. If you heard from me that you did, and don’t get one by Sunday night (not Sunday morning–I have church), let me know. My email load is big enough that I can lose things in the inbox.
I’m gleeful at the thought that I’m getting the demographic spread back (you know, in 20+ years since the first books, the youngest readers have now gotten older. Fancy that!) I look forward to everyone’s comments. And do let me know when you’ve got the thing, even if there’s nothing to say yet.
Do remember that the comments go to me in email, not here. And no taunting the non-alpha-readers. I’m the only one authorized to taunt (taunt! taunt!) It’s one of those privileges we get when they stamp our passport.
Thanks, all.
